From St. Louis to Cooperstown: Baseball Legends Born and Made in the Gateway City by Ed Wheatley

Walk through the chronology of baseball history and the moments each player had on their roads to Cooperstown. Along the way, find out which former Cardinal held baseball’s career home run record for over a quarter of a century before being topped by Babe Ruth. Which player was named after a president and was later played by a future president in his life story? Although he retired one hundred years ago, only Babe Ruth and Ted Williams have a higher career on base percentage than this former St. Louis player. How many games did baseball’s winningest pitcher win in St. Louis? And which St. Louisan reached 300 wins before him? These are just a few of the trinkets of information to be found in this anthology of players who found their way from St. Louis to Cooperstown.
