Wrigley Field to host Chicago HBCU Baseball Classic
Wrigley Field will make history this year by hosting the first Chicago HBCU Baseball Classic.
Prairie View A&M University will take on Alabama A&M University on May 2. The game is inspired by the HBCU Football Classic.
"The first-ever HBCU game at Wrigley Field is a historic milestone for Chicago and for the future of baseball," said Mayor Brandon Johnson. "Wrigley Field is the only ballpark where Jackie Robinson played that still stands today, making it a powerful place to write the next chapter of Black baseball history."
Cubs Executive Chairman Tom Ricketts called the event a "historic event."
Free tickets are available on the Chicago Cubs website.
