I'll start it off with this one. In 1967 is saw Reggie Jackson play at Rickwood on a Sunday afternoon. He got a hit and got on first. The pitcher threw over to keep him close a few times. Then he caught Reggie looking and they had Reggie in a run down. After what seemed like 5 minutes ( i know i'm exaggerating here) he wound up on second base safe. That memory i won't ever forget.

I also saw Blue Moon Odom pitch a no hitter there one night.

My dad saw The Babe play there. My dad also saw Dizzy Dean and Ray Caldwell pitch in some exhibition game where Caldwell beat Dizzy 1-0.
