Keokuk Kernels T-Shirt (Heavyweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - IowaThe Keokuk Kernels, based in Keokuk, Iowa, played in the Illinois Indiana Iowa League from 1952 to 1957 as a Cleveland Indians affiliate. The nickname came from The Hubinger Company, a local corn starch producer that was one of the city's major employers.

The Keokuk Kernels, based in Keokuk, Iowa, played in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League from 1952 to 1957 as a Cleveland Indians affiliate. The nickname came from The Hubinger Company, a local corn starch producer that was one of the city's major employers. Baseball in Keokuk ran far deeper than the Kernels era: the 1875 Keokuk Westerns were among the founding members of the National Association, the direct predecessor to today's major leagues, and on May 4, 1875, they hosted what is believed to be the first professional baseball game played in Iowa.

In 1954, a young Cleveland outfield prospect named Roger Maris played for the Kernels, tying the Three-I League single-season record for put-outs by an outfielder. It was in Keokuk that Maris, who had viewed himself primarily as a contact hitter, learned to pull the ball more aggressively under manager Jo-Jo White. That adjustment pointed toward what came later: 61 home runs for the New York Yankees in 1961, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record. The year after Maris, 1955, the Kernels put together one of the finest seasons in the history of the minor leagues. They finished 92-34, a .730 winning percentage, and won the Three-I championship by sweeping Peoria and then beating Burlington 3 games to 1 in the finals. They finished 22 games ahead of second-place Waterloo. Pitcher Jim "Mudcat" Grant went 19-3, and catcher Russ Nixon led the league in batting. The 1955 Kernels were ranked 30th on Minor League Baseball's all-time Top 100. That same year, Tim McCarver had his first professional game as a Kernel; future broadcaster Brent Musburger was the umpire working home plate.

The Three-I League (also known as the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League) was a Class B circuit that ran from 1901 through 1961, with pauses for World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Though rooted primarily in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, the league also drew clubs from Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota as its core membership contracted in later years.

Incredible Dupe
Color: Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I never leave reviews, but I was looking for a dupe blanket for my kiddos after getting a much more expensive brand blanket for myself, and this one is excellent. It’s double-sided so the same mega-soft on each side and cozy but not too heavy. I’m now getting them as Christmas gifts for everybody. A+ purchase

Warm, cozy and thick high-quality throw.
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is thick, non-shedding blanket - and for cold, winter nights… THE BEST. My granddaughters found it to be too warm, but not this grandma! I’m fit, but dang, these super-cold Alaska nights allow me to stay warm and cozy! If you have someone who runs a bit on the colder side, they will love this blanket! It washes beautifully. Great value!

Worth every penny!!
Oh my god it’s SO LUXURIOUS! And WARM! And heavy in a good way! I feel like a queen, I feel so happy when I look at it when I run my hand across it, when I wrap up in it. It just is stunning and cozy and perfect. The twin size almost feels extra large because I sleep comfortably under it on my queen size bed, and so far- no shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but as you can see it didn’t need it to undo any vacuum sealing- super fluffy right out of the box and no chemical smell I just put it right on my bed! I got it on sale for $43 I believe, and personally I think that’s a steal. This feels like those $200 blankets everyone talks about.

Super luxe throw!
Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is an absolutely incredible throw/blanket, especially for the price. Beautiful neutral color that will go with any decor. Very siIky to the touch with a coolness to it (hard to describe), thick and dense, and has a wonderful weight to it. It will be so cozy and warm in the cooler months. I own four Lola blankets at over $299 each (gulp) and these absolutely rival that brand in both quality and overall value. The faux fur/mink feels exactly the same for both brands. The only visible difference is that the back side of the WDCOZY brand is lined in a different material which also has a great quality feel and texture to it, very luxe. I've already ordered several more for Christmas gifts and for our AirBNB. I photographed the WDCOZY on the left comparing it to the Lola on the right. You can see how much fluffier the WDCOZY brand is. Highly recommend!
