Imagine looking west beyond the main gates of Oakland.  Look carefully and you will see a lush patch of green grass complete with a baseball diamond.  Beyond the playing field is a city devastated and still emotionally smoldering from Sherman's fires. Red flags hang from the doors of homes housing people with smallpox.  It is May 12, 1866 and the city desperately needs something to celebrate.  On that day the Gate City Nine and the Atlanta Baseball Club took the field to play the first baseball game in Atlanta.  Join us for a tour that recaptures the spirit of the day and examines the lives of a number of players taking part in that historic game.
