The Birmingham Barons are an AA Minor League baseball team affiliated with the Chicago White Sox. They play their home games at Regions Park in Hoover. The sports team gained widespread but brief attention in 1994 when Michael Jordan became part of their team after he retired from the NBA.

Springtime in Birmingham brings not only warmer weather but an increase in the number of people who are out enjoying various outdoor activities. Runners in the area anticipate the Mercedes Marathon as this annual event attracts participants from across the nation as well as across the world. There are various lengths that include the full marathon, the half-marathon, or the kids' marathon and relay. The skill level of the runners matters less than the proceeds raised that yield hundreds of thousands of dollars that go to benefit the Children's Hospital, the Bell Center, and Kid One Transport.

If the kids get easily bored with just one activity, go to a place where there are several fun attractions for them to choose from. That place is the Trussville Playstation. This incredibly diverse facility is a family-fun dream come true. Featuring activities like go-karting, miniature golf, video games, skating, a two level laser tag facility, and a large batting cage – the kids won't know where to start their afternoon of fun. There is a dress code that is enforced for kids 7 years of age and older as well as for non-participating adults.
