Sioux City Parckers Card Set Early 1900's
In 1905 the Sioux City Soos were renamed the Sioux City Packers. In their first season they finished fourth in the six-team Western League with an 80-69 record. The leading hitter was George Noblit, at .317. When the Iowa Senate forbid Sunday baseball the next year, the team's schedule was adjusted. The Packers again finished fourth but their record fell to 69-81. Noblitt led the league with 11 homers while someone named Campbell hit .350 and scored 132 runs. Sioux City fell to last (56-91) in 1907 and reverted to the Soos nickname in 1908, going worst to first.
