Troubles of One Umpire in a Gantlet Run at Van der Ane Park
A wartime era reminiscence recalls Van der Ane's ball park and rare track in 1896 1897. The umpire crossed a 75 yard open space through a gate then hid in a dressing room under the stand while angry spectators hurled vegetables and missiles. He dodged beer bottles while mobs shouted and the day after the crowd could still greet him. The tale blends rough humor with local notes on St Louis markets and odd food offerings.
