The Giants will travel to Birmingham, Alabama, for Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at historic Rickwood Field.
The event includes an extensive slate of pregame ceremonies honoring the late Willie Mays and the other 180 future Hall of Famers who passed through the 114-year-old ballpark.
The teams will wear throwback uniforms representing Negro Leagues teams the San Francisco Sea Lions and the St. Louis Stars.
First pitch is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. PT, and the game will be televised nationally on FOX.
It will also be displayed on the scoreboard at Oracle Park, which will open its gates for fans at noon. Admission is free, but capacity limits will apply. The park’s usual bag restrictions will be in effect: Backpacks, large bags and hard-sided coolers are not allowed.
