MLB released a first look at the throwback jerseys the Giants and Cardinals will wear at the MLB at Rickwood Field game (June 20 on FOX).
The MLB at Rickwood Field game between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals will be, in many different ways, a celebration of the Negro Leagues' integral place in baseball history. One of those tributes will be in the very uniforms the Giants and Cardinals will wear when they take the field at the iconic Birmingham, Alabama, venue on June 20.
The Giants first wore throwbacks honoring the Sea Lions in a May 2014 game against the Atlanta Braves and have worn this particular throwback for a game annually each year since 2021 to honor San Francisco's African-American baseball heritage. The Cardinals have also worn Stars-themed throwbacks several times before, starting in 1997 and as recently as 2022.
