It had been more than a half-century since Springfield had hosted minor league baseball. That ended in 2005 when Hammons Field became the home of the Springfield Cardinals of the AA Texas League and once again the Queen city of the Ozarks was part of baseball's landscape. Has black and white photos of Heinie Mueller, Mike Ryba, Johnny Keane, Paul Dean, Eddie Dyer, plus the Springfield Stars who were one of the most successful all-black semi pro teams. In very good condition. I have hundreds of books on the minor leagues plus around 260 publications on the Negro Leagues and Black Sports in stock. Discounts available on multiple purchases on the same order.

Synopsis

It has been more than half a century since Springfield last hosted minor league baseball. That draught will end at downtown's newly constructed Hammons Field in the spring of 2005, when the Springfield Cardinals of the AA Texas League bring professional baseball back to the Queen City of the Ozarks. The new team will have quite a legacy to fulfill, as the Springfield Cardinals of the Western Association won several pennants those many years ago, and brought to town such legendary baseball names as Branch Rickey, Joe Garagiola, and Stan Musial. Before the Cardinals came teams like the Midgets, Reds, and Merchants, and a rich tradition of professional and semi-pro baseball dating back to the mid-1880s. Drawing from a wide range of primary sources and complimented by over 100 vintage images, Baseball in Springfield is must-have for those ready to discover the historic connection this city has to the national pastime.

His knowledge of local baseball history is rivaled only by his love for the game, which comes through page after page in Baseball in Springfield.
