Several different minor league ballclubs have been based in the town of Danville, Illinois between 1888 and 1982. ==Early Danville teams== The Danville Browns were the first, playing in the Central Interstate League in 1888 and the Illinois–Indiana League in 1889. The Danville Champions played in the Central League in 1900 and the Danville Old Soldiers in the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League in 1906. The Danville Speakers played in the Eastern Illinois League in 1908 and in the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League (Three_I League) from 1910 to 1914. Major leaguers Medric Boucher, Cecil Coombs, Bob Fisher, Buck Hopkins, Pete Hildebrand, Hosea Siner, Bert Graham, Rube Sellers, Connie Walsh, Otto Vogel, Walt Devoy and Hod Eller played for the Speakers in its short time in existence under that moniker. They moved to Moline, Illinois and became the Moline Plowboys during the 1914 season. The Danville Veterans joined the Three-I League in 1922 and remained through 1932, winning the league championship in 1927 and 1930. The team was an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals from 1927–1932. After World War II, the Brooklyn Dodgers came to town with their Danville Dodgers affiliate in the Three-I League. After the Dodgers left, the team remained as the Danville Dans, now in the Mississippi–Ohio Valley League. They were affiliated with the Boston Braves (1952), Chicago White Sox (1953) and New York Giants (1954). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danville minor league baseball team (Illinois)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
