As my interest in ealy St. Louis baseball has grown, I discovered the 1913 St. Louis Terriers, of the Federal League. The Federal League decalred itself a Major League in 1914, and the Terriers were one of eight clubs that played in that innaugural season. However, in 1913, it existed as an outlaw minor league, and the Terriers first season was that year. That led me to a rabbit hole that was the 1913 Federal League. I've tracked down many players from that mostly forgotten league and year as well. This page attempts to gather links to the biographies in one place, mostly as a way for me to keep track of them.
