About The Book

The Fort Wayne Wizards 1993 arrival marked the beginning of professional baseball in northeast Indiana for many. However, the city boasts a rich baseball heritage that traces its roots to the very origins of the game. In fact, baseball and its record books begin with Fort Wayne. Over more than 135 years, dozens of teams have called Fort Wayne their homefield, making players into local legends and stars who excelled in the spotlight of baseball’s biggest stage. Baseball in Fort Wayne recounts the sport’s presence in the city, from the earliest days of 1871’s Kekiongas to today’s Wizards, as well as those who took the field in between.

“an impressive collection of baseball photos and stories. Baseball fans, especially those local to Fort Wayne, will be amazed to see baseball evolve from its late 19th century beginnings to the current game.”

Beyond the Bases

Showing connections and reach of the game

Unlike the typical "statistical" baseball book, this book focuses on the people and their personal connections to the game. The book spins a local flavor that could have happened in many backyards across America.

This book has very nice pictures in it, especially old historic ones I have not seen before. Great book for baseball fans everywhere not just in the Summit City. The author was nice enough to sign my book. Thanks!

About the author.

Chad Gramling - Author, historian, life refiner
Chad Gamling is a Christ-focused writer and historian who’s continually “refining life, on purpose.” At 1Glories.com, he regularly writes about how he’s listening up and the ways God is leading him in a quest Chad began while striving toward greater discipleship and a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. As he lives, learns, and grows — refining life, on purpose — he invites others to connect and share in the journey.
Baseball in Fort Wayne was Chad’s first published book, and the realization of a life goal he’d set – that of seeing his name on the cover of a book he wrote – while a senior in high school.
