Des Moines Demons Hoodie - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - IowaThe Des Moines Demons, based in Des Moines, Iowa, carried one of the more traveled names in Midwest minor league baseball. The original Demons were a Western League team that ran from 1925 through 1937, winning back to back championships in 1925 and 1926.

The Des Moines Demons, based in Des Moines, Iowa, carried one of the more traveled names in Midwest minor league baseball. The original Demons were a Western League team that ran from 1925 through 1937, winning back-to-back championships in 1925 and 1926. Those squads were strong by any measure: the 1925 club went 98-70, one game ahead of the Denver Bears, and put six players on the Western League All-Star team. The name disappeared when professional baseball left Des Moines after the 1937 season, then sat dormant for more than three decades.

In 1959, the Demons name was revived for a Philadelphia Phillies affiliate in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League, playing at Sec Taylor Stadium. That first Three-I season was the best of the three: manager Chuck Kress led the club to a 78-55 combined record across the two-half format, winning the second half, before losing the championship to the Green Bay Bluejays 3 games to 1. Cal Emery led the Three-I League that year with a .323 average, 27 home runs, and 129 RBI, earning the league MVP award. The 1960 team went 64-74 under Andy Seminick. Ray Culp, who would later win 122 games in the major leagues for the Phillies and the Boston Red Sox, pitched that season with a 6-7 record and 6.59 ERA. Pat Corrales, who later caught in the majors for a decade and managed the Phillies in 1982 and 1983, also came through the Des Moines roster.

The 1961 season was a steep decline: Des Moines finished last with a 37-93 record while every other team in the league finished at .500 or better. The Phillies dropped their working agreement in September 1961. The Three-I League folded that January. Professional baseball returned to Des Moines in 1969 with the Iowa Oaks of the American Association, and the Iowa Cubs later revived the Demons name as a Copa de la Diversión identity in 2019.

Alex and her monsters
Format: Kindle
A somewhat intriguing story that did drag a little despite giving us some world building. The explanations just took too long even if we don’t get the full picture yet. I will say the story does have some humor and is very hot. I may pick up the second book at some point.

Interesting Monster Academy
Format: Kindle
Alexandra is tired of being alone, using writing to escape from her reality. But when her monster protectors in her writing come to life, her life is going to become a little more exciting than she ever anticipated. This was a fun take on an academy romance. We have two different realities, one for the real world and one for the supernatural world. I loved the Dark Imaginarium Academy and the intrigue it held throughout the story. The plot was fun and the characters were written beautifully. Alexandra, Elwin, Kylo and Lucien were great characters and have the best out of every relationship dynamic. My heart does belong to Lucien, because who doesn't love a murderous psycho willing to kill anyone who hurts you? I wish there was a little more intrigue to the plot itself. The story was fun to read and well written, but it's still a straightforward Academy romance. I would've liked to see something that made the story really stand out more.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
Very interesting world set up! I'm liking the characters more and more as we get to know them as well. At first I found it difficult to remember what powers each of the 3 monsters have, but the author does a great job of working it into the story to help the reader remember and eventually tell who is who much easier. Seems like a great start to a series. I can't wait to see where everything is heading.

In Love With These Interconnected Series
Format: Kindle
I am in love with these interconnected series!!!! I love getting sneak peeks at the girls we haven’t met yet and seeing the girls we know and love interact with each other. I also really enjoy the concept of how all of the sectors are set up and the way that the academy is run. Alexandra’s situation is especially unique as she has lived her whole life thinking that she is human while wishing that she wasn’t. She has created her own monsters to protect her from the monsters in her real life, but all of the sudden her monsters are real!!! I love how different this is from other stories that I have read, not a lot of characters will living beings with their own memories and thoughts into existence. I am also super excited to see how the ending translates into the next book and if there will be any ties to Greek mythology included.
