Dear Alabama Baseball Alumni, Fans and Supporters,
With the start of a new year and as we move closer to Opening Day on February 14, I am excited about this upcoming season and the team we will have on the field this year.
Alabama Athletics is pleased to announce to approval of a $30M project for the new Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The new stadium is scheduled to be completed and ready for Opening Day in 2016, making the 2014 season the final year in "The Joe" as we know it.
To honor all the players, coaches, fans and supporters of Alabama baseball throughout the years, we have designated the five (5) home Southeastern Conference weekends to recognize all those who have helped make ALABAMA THE WINNINGEST BASEBALL PROGRAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE SEC!
Below you will find the information of each weekend:
| Kentucky | March 14 - 16 | ALL-AMERICAN WEEKEND | All Athletic & Academic |
| Ole Miss | March 28 - 30 | OMAHA WEEKEND | 1950, 1983, 1996, 1997, 1999 |
| Auburn | April 11 - 13 | MLB WEEKEND | Former and Current |
| Florida | May 2 - 4 | CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND | SEC, SEC Tournament, Regional and Super Regional |
| Miss State | May 15 - 17 | ALUMNI WEEKEND | All former Alabama |
With your help, I hope that you will be able to assist us in passing along this information to all those who will be included in these honors. We look forward to seeing you this season at "The Joe" and let's make the 2014 season the best yet, to send Sewell-Thomas Stadium out with excitement.
