Best Dogs Ever

As a kid my dad took me to Rickwood field whenever he could leave his office in time. I must have been five or six when we went for the first time. The Barons played The Memphis Chicks and won a 14-6 slugfest. I later saw Bo Jackson play for a visiting team when he was in the Kansas City organization. I felt a little wierd when everyone cheered his homerun. ... A TripAdvisor Member, a user of Tripadvisor. Read full review on tripadvisor
