Introduction

I decided to create a blog dedicated to Sports History in the state of Missouri.  I don't have a specific schedule of when I plan to post, and right now I'm not sure what my first post (besides this one) will be.  However I have a few ideas.  In the future, I will take a look at teams that have called Missouri home.  Sure, I will feature the Cardinals and the Chiefs, but it goes way beyond that.  Teams like the St. Louis Browns, Kansas City Monarchs, Mid-Missouri Mavericks, Joplin Miners, and more.  If I can find information about a team, it will be eventually profiled.  No sport is off limits- baseball, football, tennis, basketball, hockey, you name it.  At random I will have dates in history where I look back at major sports stories involving Missouri.

Sometimes I won't just feature teams.  I will also profile people born in Missouri, or people inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.  I also plan to talk about college teams as well.  Teams like the Missouri Tigers, Southeast Missouri State Redhawks, Missouri Western Griffons, and any college in-between.

As time goes on, I may even include some coverage on High School sports history.  I have lots of plans, so be on the lookout for my first real post.
