St. Louis Sports Historian Ed Wheatley, “From St. Louis to Cooperstown"

Baseball fans know the heroics of St. Louis baseball legends like Musial, Dean, Schoendienst, Gibson and Brock. Their images are immortalized on Busch Stadium’s left field wall. But the mural only highlights 13 of the 55 Cardinal franchise players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. And what about the nine men from the American League’s St. Louis Browns whose plaques also hang in Cooperstown–or the five players from St. Louis’s two Negro League teams, the Giants and the Stars? St. Louis sports historian Ed Wheatley takes readers on a walk through the moments each player had on their road to Cooperstown.
