The 2014 Rickwood Classic was the 19th in the annual series of "throwback" games played by the Birmingham Barons in vintage-styled uniforms at Birmingham's historic Rickwood Field. The Mississippi Braves defeated the Barons 5-2 on the afternoon of Wednesday June 25 before 8,655 spectators.
The home team Barons wore throwback uniforms modeled after those worn by the 1924 Birmingham Barons. The Braves also wore period uniforms. The featured guest for the game was Cy Young Award winner Dwight Gooden.
Mike Cameron, Joe Grzenda, Johnny Dobbs, and Gabby Bell were inducted into the Birmingham Barons Hall of Fame during the game.
