Memphis, Tenn. – AutoZone Park will play host to five local college baseball teams for the second time in the fall version of the Nostalgia Man Classic on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9-10. Crichton College, Christian Brothers University, LeMoyne-Owen College, Rhodes College, and Southwest Tennessee Community College all return to the Classic. Each team will play two seven-inning games over the two-day period, for a total of five games during the event.

General admission tickets – good for all five games – are available for $15. Each ticket will also serve as a voucher for one Redbirds game during the 2005 season-opening homestand, April 7-14.

The participating teams represent a wide variety of competition levels and conferences. CBU and LeMoyne-Owen are NCAA Division II schools, in the Gulf South Conference and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, respectively. Rhodes is a member of the NCAA Division III Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, and Crichton is a Division I member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). Southwest Tennessee Community College is the only two-year college invited to play at the Nostalgia Man Classic and is a part of the Tennessee Junior and Community College Athletic Association.

The inaugural Nostalgia Man Classic was held Feb. 16-17, 2004, but it is now slated to be an annual fall event.
