Author Talk—”The Finest in the Field” with Ed Wheatley

Step into baseball history with Ed Wheatley, author of the new book The Finest in the Field: A History of Baseball Through 50 Iconic Gloves. Joined by MHS Public Historian Adam Kloppe, Wheatley will spotlight some of the game’s greatest moments, most storied players, and wildest plays—all through the gloves that shaped them. Plus, get an exclusive first look at the Missouri Historical Society’s upcoming exhibit St. Louis at Bat: 100 Moments in Baseball History. (Opening October 3!) Following the presentation, Wheatley will sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase in the Sold on St. Louis museum shop.
