This interview will be on “St. Louis on the Air” over the noon hour Tuesday. This story will be updated after the show. You can listen live.
In “St. Louis Sports Memories: Forgotten Teams and Moments and America’s Best Sports Town,” sports historian and author Ed Wheatley shares facts about St. Louis sports originals that crossed state and international borders, which athlete got pro sports’ first million-dollar endorsement, and details about many names, events and places even the most devout St. Louis sports fans can’t name off the top of their heads.
Wheatley will join Tuesday’s St. Louis on the Air to share highlights from the book.
