Two veteran St. Louis sportswriters talk about their long careers and the special relationship this city has with its teams. Derrick Goold is a Mizzou grad who has worked for the Post-Dispatch for more than a quarter-century, covering baseball, hockey, and college athletics. He is the author of 100 Things Cardinals Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, which contains a foreword written by Stan Musial. Jim Thomas retired from the Post-Dispatch in 2023 after a 48-year career and is the author of The Franchise: A Curated History of the Blues.

Doors swing open at 6:30 p.m., giving you ample time to explore the shelves and connect with fellow history buffs. Talks start at 7 p.m., with a $5 cover helping support this speaker series.
