Under the lights of one of baseball’s most iconic ballparks, Alabama A&M delivered more than a win — it helped write a new chapter in the history of Black college baseball. The Bulldogs defeated Prairie View A&M 10-7 in the inaugural Chicago HBCU Baseball Classic at Wrigley Field, marking the first time Historically Black Colleges and Universities competed in the 112-year-old stadium that once hosted legends like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. Wrigley Field is the only existing Major League Baseball stadium where Jackie Robinson played during his career with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
