The 2012 Rickwood Classic was the 17th in the annual series of "throwback" games played by the Birmingham Barons in vintage-style uniforms at Birmingham's historic Rickwood Field. The Barons played the Chattanooga Lookouts on the afternoon of May 31. Military supplier DRASH, one of the game's sponsors, provided discounted tickets to active and former military personnel.
The home team Barons wore throwback uniforms modeled after those of the 1942 Birmingham Barons, affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds. The jerseys will also sport Hale America "Health" patches on the left shoulder. The Lookouts also honored their history with period uniforms. Throwing the opening pitch was 2-time National League MVP Dale Murphy, a former Atlanta Brave and 7-time All-Star.
The game was presented by State Farm Insurance.
