Dubuque Packers T-Shirt (Heavyweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - IowaThe Dubuque Packers, based in Dubuque, Iowa, played in the Mississippi Ohio Valley League from 1954 to 1955 and then in the Midwest League from 1956 through 1967, winning league championships in both 1955 and 1962.

The Dubuque Packers, based in Dubuque, Iowa, played in the Mississippi-Ohio Valley League from 1954 to 1955 and then in the Midwest League from 1956 through 1967, winning league championships in both 1955 and 1962. They were a Chicago White Sox affiliate for their first five seasons, then affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1959-60) and Cleveland Indians (1961-66). Dubuque had earlier baseball history in the Three-I League under the Shamrocks (1903-05), Dubs (1906-15), and Hustlers (1911) nicknames, but the Packers were a distinct later franchise built around a different era of Midwest baseball.

The most remarkable single season in Packers history came in 1956, when Grover "Deacon" Jones hit .409 over 100 games, a Midwest League record that still stands. Jones had injured his shoulder during White Sox spring training and was sent to Dubuque to keep playing through the pain. His average never fell below .400 after the team's 16th game. Pitcher Gary Peters came through Dubuque in 1957 before winning the American League Rookie of the Year award with the White Sox in 1963. Tommy John started his professional career in Dubuque in 1961, long before the elbow surgery in 1974 that made his name synonymous with ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction. Outfielder Tommie Agee also played in Dubuque in 1961 before winning the AL Rookie of the Year in 1966 and making one of the most celebrated catches in World Series history with the 1969 Mets.

The franchise played at John Petrakis Field on Fourth Street near the Mississippi River, named for the team's longtime president and GM. The Sporting News named Petrakis its top minor league executive in 1956, the same year Jones was tearing up the league. The Packers were later the subject of a 2013 documentary, "A Pitch in Time: The Story of the Dubuque Packers."

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Smells good and doesn’t feel greasy
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent

No texture issues
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
I’ve never been one to like hair product because I don’t like how they make my hair feel “crunchy” or overly stiff. However, this kind provides a nice, loose hold that doesn’t make my hair feel weird. If you can spare the extra few dollars and don’t need a strong hold, I would recommend this!
