As a historian and researcher, I am fortunate to be living in the Information Age. While I'm certainly old enough to have spent plenty of time looking through microfilm, browsing the stacks and digging through old, dusty books, with the advent and growth of the Internet, researching and learning about St. Louis and 19th century baseball history has never been easier. Below you'll find a list of links to sites that I've found useful in my research as well as just some baseball-related sites that I like.
If you know of any sites that I've left off and think that I should include, feel free to contact me and let me know. I'll be updating this list as I discover new sites and am always on the lookout for something new.
