About the Author

Brian Flaspohler is a lifelong St. Louis Cardinal fan who grew up in a small town in central Missouri. He retired from a real job as a manufacturing engineer and now spends his days researching and writing about baseball history. He still watches the Cardinals but has officially reached the age where it is more fun to read about past baseball exploits than to watch the current game. He is a longtime member of the Society for American Baseball Research and a contributor to both the Bio Project and the Games Project. He has also written about the 1880s St. Louis Browns for a book on Sportsman's Park. When not occupied with baseball, he spends his time running the byways and trails in and around the St. Louis area. As of this writing, he has run every single day for more than nine years.
