Ace Stewart, a Terre Haute native, left a lasting legacy in the world of baseball during his 20-season career from 1889 to 1908. Despite a brief stint in the majors with the Chicago Colts in 1895, Stewart’s true impact was felt in his hometown and other Indiana cities like Indianapolis, Anderson, and Peru. His story might have faded into obscurity if not for a remarkable discovery made by his great-grandnephew, Patrick Stewart.
