Talk:Des Moines Hawkeyes
From BR Bullpen
William Jennings Bryan was living in Lincoln, NE in 1888 according to Cherny's short biography of him (A Righteous Cause), so I'm guessing that this is a different William Bryan. - --Mischa 11:36, 30 Apr 2006 (EDT)
I keep seeing William Bryan pop up in the 1800's as a minor league exec. I figured it was a longshot. --Just me 21:56, 30 Apr 2006 (EDT)
Johnson & Wolff have Des Moines still being the Hawkeyes in 1901 --Just me 18:15, 31 May 2006 (EDT)
My source was Madden & Stewart's Western League book. For alot of early teams with no 'official' nickname, lots of sources seem to vary. - --Mischa 09:59, 1 Jun 2006 (EDT)
