The Keokuk Kernels, named for the Hubinger corn starch plant, played the Three-I League (the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League) from 1952 to 1957 as a Cleveland affiliate. Roger Maris played here in 1954 and, under manager Jo-Jo White, learned to pull the ball, an adjustment that pointed toward his 61 home runs in 1961.
The 1955 Kernels went 92-34, finished 22 games clear of second place, and swept to the championship behind Mudcat Grant's 19-3 record and batting champion Russ Nixon. That team ranks 30th on Minor League Baseball's all-time Top 100.
