BASEBALL IN ST. LOUIS 1900-1925 By Steve Steinberg
   
 

“The photos are fantastic. Steve did an amazing job of finding and collecting them. St. Louis fans owe him a lot.”

“Baseball in St. Louis” is a nostalgic look at a mostly ignored era from a long, long time ago. Where else can you find photos of Slim Sallee and his hunting dog and of Urban Shocker preparing to throw a spitball? It’s a treasure trove of great memories.”
 

Peter Golenbock, baseball writer and Author of The Spirit of St. Louis:
A History of the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns (both quotes)

 
 

“Steve Steinberg's timely book, "Baseball in St. Louis 1900-1925" has shed a bright light on the city's "Dark Ages." His fantastic pictorial rendition, replete with a cornucopia of facts, resurrects the historic memory of, not only the "prehistoric Cardinals," but also the era of the St. Louis Browns, the city's' "other team," who were rightfully the more popular club during the first quarter of the 20th century. Steinberg also explores the enlightening history of the short-lived SluFeds, the St. Louis Terriers who complicated Baseball's economic picture before America's entry into WW I.”


“This book is a baseball aficionado's dream, a testament to a bygone era that has escaped the indifferent notice of the major media for the past quarter of a century. No baseball fan's library is complete without Steinberg's superlative tribute to the "lost history" of St. Louis baseball.”

of the St. Louis Browns Historical Society (both quotes)
