Major League Baseball Visits Children’s

Birmingham was center stage for Major League Baseball’s Tribute to the Negro Leagues game at Rickwood field in June, and it was a big event for Children’s of Alabama as well. MLB executives, former players and representatives from the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants charitable organizations visited the hospital while in town. Some of the special guests—including mascots for both teams—played games and took photos with Children’s patients. Hall of Fame manager and four time World Series champion Joe Torre was among the visitors.
