The Bloomington Bloomers, hailing from Bloomington, Illinois, were a long-standing team in the Iowa-Indiana-Illinois or Three-I League during the early 20th century. The Bloomers started play in 1903 and played 29 seasons through 1939. The Bloomers won four league titles in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1939. The 1935 team was player-managed by Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes, who was winding down his playing career. Grimes would move on to coach the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937.
