This summer, FOX Sports and Fanatics Sports Cards & Collectibles will pay tribute to the Negro Leagues and celebrate the excellence of Black baseball at Birmingham's Rickwood Field, the oldest professional ballpark in the US. To create engagement and excitement for the Rickwood Field game, The Topps Company created the “MLB at Rickwood Negro League Collection”, a 6-card collection featuring Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Larry Doby, and Monte Irvin. To promote the card collaboration and the Rickwood Field game on June 20th, some of these Negro League legends were reimagined as larger-than-life, 24-foot-tall, traveling trading cards on a six-stop tour managed by our North American Experiential Operations team. The cards will tour the United States in May and June where they will appear at MLB games and additional tourist destinations. The first two of these "larger than life" displays, both depicting pitcher Satchel Paige, debuted earlier this week in Kansas City, Missouri, home of the @nlbmuseumkc, and St. Louis, Missouri, home of the @cardinals. The card art, sketched by artist and former MLB player Micah Johnson, was scaled up to a truss-constructed "baseball card" that stands 24' tall by 16' wide. The "limited time engagement" will be continuing on to Philadelphia, FOX Plaza in New York City, and Boston, with a final stop at the Rickwood Field game in Birmingham. #experientialoperations #baseballcard #topps #mlbonfox #rickwoodfield #tour #teamwass
