Rollie Zeider: A Quirky Stitch in Baseball's Tapestry

The Library will welcome Chad Gramling on Wednesday, October 15th, at 6:00 pm, for a presentation on a local baseball player, Rollie Hubert Zeider.

Baseball fans of all ages are invited to join us in the Assembly Room at the Main Library for Rollie Zeider: A Quirky Stitch in Baseball's Tapestry to learn about the baseball journeyman's compelling and oft-overlooked life and career. Zeider's career spanned three major leagues, three Chicago teams, and spawned countless colorful anecdotes. Hoosier-born and Auburn-raised, Zeider’s legacy is a blend of versatility, speed, and small-town charm. Whether you’re a baseball buff or just love a good underdog tale, Rollie Zeider’s journey from sawmill towns to the big leagues is one worth celebrating.

Chad Gramling is a writer, historian, and acclaimed chronicler of northeast Indiana’s rich baseball heritage. His deep-rooted passion for the game’s history has shaped much of his work, including Baseball in Fort Wayne, a definitive exploration of the region’s storied diamond past. He also authored Legendary Locals of Auburn and other books, all blending cultural insight with compelling narrative.
