The Danville Speakers hailed from Danville, Illinois, and played in the Triple I League from 1910-1914 and spent one year in the Eastern Illinois League in 1908. In the Eastern Illinois League, the Speakers were league champs with a 65-27 record. Unfortunately, the league disbanded after the 1908 season due to a lack of teams. Upon moving to the Triple I the Speakers didn't have as much success, with their best season coming in 1913 with a 69-68 record. During the 1914 season, the team would move to Moline, Illinois and become the Moline Plowboys. It's not clear what the team's moniker was a reference to, so we thought a old school loud speaker was appropriate.
