Baseball's greatest rivalry began in the 1920s when the two local rivals both joined the Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League, and as a result met each other in two consecutive best-of-seven series that were held at Griffith Stadium. Both were held on April 20, 1922 and May 8, 1923, and ended in defeat for the home team. Other memorable occasions include one game which was interrupted due to a water main burst and the players had to take cover as a flash flood came through. A game held in 1919 against the Hammond Pros was delayed as its owner, George Kelsky, was late. The two teams would remain rivals as the teams from the rival cities were brought together to form the original St. Louis Browns from 1902 until 1953. They also shared a rivalry in the Southern Association that ended with the folding of the Nashville Vols.
