Hannibal's Cannibals played in the Illinois-Missouri League starting in 1908, carrying the name of a river town already famous for Mark Twain. Minor league ball meant everything to small cities along the Mississippi then. Clubs like this gave working folks a reason to gather on summer evenings, binding a community to something larger than itself. Part of our Defunct Baseball collection, inspired by the vintage Minor League teams of yesteryear.
