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.

Great privacy screen
Size: 6 Panel-119"W, Color: Beige
I have a studio apartment and the bathroom is in my bedroom. I bought this to section the area off so guests can use my bathroom without seeing my entire bedroom. This is perfect for that! It looks very nice and offers alot of privacy. The screen is fabric and good quality! I’m a middle aged woman and put it together myself in about 2 hours. Love this!!!

Nice divider 6 panel with wheels.
Size: 6 Panel-119"W, Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel-119"W, Color: Black
The wall works great , and I put it together by myself. I only gave it what I did because I have to move one or two of the panels on one end around a bit daily to make an opening to pass through. I find I have to check the screws that hold those legs/feet on frequently and retighten them. Beyond that everything was pretty good quality. (I ended up magnetizing an Allen wrench to one of the feet.) I also put on motion lights to the rollers so you’ll see them and don’t trip.

I was looking for something to separate my two boys and give them both their own space. So far this room divider has worked well. It’s 6 feet tall and the fabric is dark and thick. You won’t see anything on the other side. Good quality and easy to assemble ✅

Too Cumbersome
Size: 6 Panel-119"W, Color: Black
Didn’t realize there were over 100 pieces to put this thing together. Had I been advised of that I would not have ordered this thing. Wayyyyy too much of a production to put it together. Nope. Returned.
