Local author Will Saulsbery talks baseball Sept. 30

Programming, Uncategorized

Join us at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30 for an evening with local author Will Saulsbery! The program will take place in the auditorium and is intended for adults, but free and open to all.

Names like Ice Box Chamberlain, Slim Sallee, Don Blasingame, and Vinegar Bend Mizell should never be forgotten. In his new book, 50 Forgotten Cardinals, Will Saulsbery sheds new, hilarious, and entertaining light on the careers of the men that helped define the St. Louis Cardinals franchise.

Saulsbery was born in St. Louis and has lived in Missouri his entire life. In 2025, he co-wrote the golf memoir You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You with PGA Tour professional Jay Delsing, as well as a collection of short stories, Death in the Midwest. Saulsbery is currently a contributor for the Scoops Sports Network.
