Chapman Shares His Baseball Best

Published July 5, 2010 at 1:57 a.m.

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI) will exhibit Rickwood Field: The Color of Baseball July 1-August 31. The exhibition turns the attention from the game on the field to the fans in the stands with selected pieces from renowned photographer Dr. Ernest C. Winters who photographed the famed field in the mid 20th Century.

For the past eight years, Bill Chapman has attended and photographed "The Classic"

"Rickwood Field has a charisma all by itself, but by adding the fans, it becomes a truly magnificent American experience," said Chapman. "It has now been a national treasure for 100 years and may it continue to be it for many more decades."

Bill Chapman has been photographing baseball exclusively since 1990. He has traveled to more than 60 ballparks and photographed hundreds of games all across America.

Chapman's memories are brought to life by B.J. Millican.
