Never-before Published Pictures of the Park that Made St. Louis The Baseball Town of America. “Is it any wonder that when I go back to St. Louis to visit, I find a way to once more follow my yellow brick road? It takes me to Grand and Dodier, the magical spot that once was, and always will be, Sportsman’s Park.” -Joe Garagiola, Former St. Louis Cardinal and Hall of Fame Broadcaster Sportsman’s Park was a magical spot indeed for millions of Cardinals and Browns fans until its final season in the sun. For an entire century through 1965, Sportsman’s Park bonded families, enlivened a community, and forged baseball history. Baseball’s legends walked these grounds, from local heroes Dean, Musial, Gibson, Brock, and Shannon to national icons like Ruth, Mantle, Mays, DiMaggio and Aaron. They’re all captured by the amazing photographs in the book, Sportsman’s Park: The Players, the Fans & the Game by Dan O’Neill. Many of these candid images have never been published before, and all of them evoke warm memories of an unforgettable place and era. Open the book, come back in time, and see one remarkable photo after another, including ... ... Babe Ruth giving batting tips to the St. Louis Browns bat boy (who grew up to be Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt, Jr.). ... Eddie Gaedel, a midget, batting for the Browns, with the Detroit catcher on his knees to give his pitcher a lower target. ... Bob Gibson, Ken Boyer and Tim McCarver celebrating the Cardinals’ victory over the Yankees at the 1964 World Series.
