Rickwood Field is the oldest baseball field in the US.
It's also where comedian Roy Wood junior spent a lot of time growing up.
Racism was around, but his baseball field somehow was a separate oasis from all of that for blacks and whites, baseball, Birmingham, and racing America.
On the latest episode of the Sunday Story from NPR's up first podcast, you're.
Listening to life Kid from NPR.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Consider today's episode a helping hand ahead of July 4, because while many of us enjoy the holiday tradition of eating grilled veggies and kebabs and burgers, some of us have never been taught how to do the grilling.
I'm in that category, and so is Ruth Tam.
She's a journalist and she loves to cook, but, well, this was her before she learned how to grill.
All right, time to check on these chicken thighs.
Oh, no, they're burned.
These two are.
This is the sound of failure.
Shh.
Lucky.
Lucky for us.
Ruth went on a grilling journey after that, and she did an episode for us on today's Life kit, how to level up your food game with grilling.
Enjoy.
This is NPR's life kit.
I'm Ruth Tam.
