Thursday night’s special MLB game at historic Rickwood Field featured one of the coolest broadcast twists we’ve seen in a good while.
As the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals squared off at the legendary ballpark in Birmingham, Alabama, the Fox Sports broadcast threw it back to 1954 and put an old-timey filter on the game being played.
The game went to playing in black-and-white via a very old television set, which really gave you the feel like you were watching a baseball game all the way back when televisions were just being introduced to the public.
You just don’t often get innovative quirks like this during the regular season of any sport, so for Fox Sports to pull this off for the Rickwood Field game is just beyond cool.
It made an already fantastic night all the more memorable, and we really hope Fox Sports brings this back in the future.
This. Is. Awesome! We turn the clock back to 1954
