Got a bit of an aquatic theme going apparently, with our next project the Lakers out of Paris IL. The city briefly played host to the Parisians club, but went franchise free between 1908 and 1950, when the Lakers club was formed, named for the location of its home field in Twin Lakes Park. (That ballpark, Laker Stadium, still stands in the same spot today.)
The Lakers played in the Mississippi-Ohio Valley League from '50 thru '55 before switching to the newly-founded Midwest League in '56 (and winning the inaugural Championship). Sadly, while that league survives to the present day, the Lakers organisation didn't make it into the 1960s.
