The 1921 throwback game was an early example of a "throwback" baseball game. It was held on Tuesday October 25, 1921 at Rickwood Field as part of Birmingham's semicentennial celebrations.
The game was part of a double-header which concluded with a standard match-up later in the afternoon. The throwback game began at 2:00 PM with teams wearing old-style uniforms and playing by the rules of the game as they were in 1872. The teams were styled as the "Elyton Warriors" and the "Cahaba Invincibles"
