In this week's Roaming St. Louis segment, KMOX weekend host Scott Jagow gets a sneak preview of a new exhibit. It opens -- along with the Cardinals season -- March 30 at the Field House Museum near Busch Stadium. But the exhibit isn't about the Cardinals. It's about the St. Louis Browns, who played in the city between 1902 and 1953.

Scott chats with the exhibit's curator Ed Wheatley, president of the St.
Louis Browns Historical Society and Fan Club. The Browns have a colorful history so their sit-down is full of good stories. Taken a listen below.
