Biographer David Jerome will give a presentation, “Tom Henke: Faith, Family, Friends, and Baseball” at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center. Refreshments provided.
Jerome will provide an overview about Tom Henke, an exceptional yet underrated former professional baseball player from Missouri. Henke, a two-time All-Star, a World Series winner, and a Rolaids Relief Award winner, pitched for the Texas Rangers, the Toronto Blue Jays and the St. Louis Cardinals. By the end of his career, Henke amassed 311 saves as a closing pitcher. In 2011, he was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
In addition to exploring his faith, Jerome will provide a background of how Tom Henke’s family and friends helped him throughout his baseball career. Henke, of Taos, Missouri, located in the northern region of the Ozarks’ Salem Plateau just east of Jefferson City, grew up in a large religious family of modest means.
