Batter up! Few sports have shaped Saint Louis quite like baseball. For this special tour, we are joined by Emily Koeltzow, the Early Childhood and Family Programs Manager from the Missouri Historical Society (MHS). Together, we will dive deep into how baseball’s intersection with technology, culture, and politics changed the course of history.

Discover fascinating local insights, including:
●How Saint Louis pitcher Bill Doak approached Rawlings in 1917 to revolutionize glove designs with added webbing.
●The groundbreaking history of Stars Park, which became the first professional park with permanent night lights in 1930.
●Unique regional baseball variations born right here, from indoor softball and wiffleball to local corkball leagues and inclusive challenger baseball.
●Strategic masterminds like Saint Louis native and Hall of Fame Manager Earl Weaver, who revolutionized modern baseball management strategy.

This exclusive content offers a perfect sneak peek ahead of the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park's upcoming exhibition, St. Louis At Bat: 100 Moments in Baseball History, opening on October 3!
