In Birmingham, AL on Wednesday, 2 June 2010, historic Rickwood Field, America’s oldest ballpark, celebrated its centennial anniversary. Three generations of the Wylie Pierson and Lurene Hall Johnson (Uncle Wylie and Aunt “Dolly”) family were among the near capacity crowd. And they were dressed in style, too - the high style of 1910, that is! In the photos above are daughter Melanie Fay Johnson, Melanie’s daughter Kellet Catherine Carmichael and Kellet’s daughter, Lillian Carmichael May.

Unfortunately, Kellet’s husband Joshua May had to work and could not attend the afternoon game. Kellet’s delicate dress was an antique dress that belonged to Aunt Dolly.

The family attracted the eye of the media, too. The video below is published at al.com, online site of The Birmingham News. Near the beginning of the video, you’ll see Melanie Fay, Kellet and baby Lillie as they entered Rickwood Field. Near the end of the video, Wylie Scott has joined them to enjoy the game. Unfortunately, the home team Barons lost the tough 11-inning game to the Tennessee Smokies.
