birmingham are mobile. and team owner rick would work to build the city's crown jewel for his co that would stand the test of time. >> when it was built, it was one of the first concrete and steel ballparks and it was ahead of its time. rick woodward connie one of the greatest baseball names of all to come here and giving advice on building ironically, they took a cue from america's northern steel town and model the ballpark after pittsburgh's forbes field built 2 years earlier in 19, 0, 8, for the next 8 decades over 180 hall of famers will play at rickwood. >> but by the 1980's, the place fallen on hard times. no one knew what the future was going to be. the bears packed up and moved over to hoover to play at the met leading birmingham's once bustling ballpark in shambles. but that was all about to change. >> well, a group of businessman called friends of rickwood were formed in the early 90's and they saw that the park and going into just a great state of disrepair and they were looking at ways to try to keep it from getting torn down and becoming another relic. and birmingham. >> considered by many to be
