- Peoria_Chiefs abstract "The Peoria Chiefs are a Class A minor league baseball team, affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals, from Peoria, Illinois. They play in the Midwest League.After beginning play in 1883, there was strong baseball history when the franchise restarted in 1983, as the Peoria Suns, a California Angels farm team that relocated the Angels' previous Midwest League farm team in Danville. The following year, the team was given the more traditional name \"Chiefs\", in reference to the Peoria Indian tribe for which the city was named.In 1984, Joe Maddon, current manager of the Chicago Cubs, managed the Chiefs.The Chiefs' first home park was Meinen Field near the Bradley University campus, built in 1968; it was renovated before the 1992 season and renamed Pete Vonachen Stadium in honor of the Chiefs' owner. The team moved to a new park in downtown Peoria, O'Brien Field, on May 24, 2002; they set a franchise attendance record of 254,407 in the new park's first year and also won the midwest league championship. The team then broke the attendance record in 2005, drawing 256,612 fans in their first season as a Cubs affiliate since 1994.Peoria Franchise Alumni include: Baseball Hall of Fame members Tony Lazzeri, Ryne Sandberg and Greg Maddux; Major League Most Valuable Players:Bob O'Farrell, Phil Cavarretta, Ryne Sandberg, Albert Pujols and Josh Donaldson ; Cy Young Award Winners: Greg Maddux and Rick Sutcliffe; Rookie of the Year award winners: Rick Sutcliffe, Jerome Walton, Kerry Wood, Nomar Garciaparra, Scott Williamson and Albert Pujols.

In addition, there are numerous other Major League All-Star players with Peoria Roots. Former Cubs catcher, Jody Davis, managed the 2006 team.On December 5, 2006 Ryne Sandberg, Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cub infielder, was hired to Manage the 2007 Chiefs. The team went 71-68 and finished the second half 40–30 in a tie for the division title, but missed the playoff on a tiebreaker. At the gate in 2007, the Chiefs broke their season attendance record with 259,794 fans and an average of 3,800 per game. Sandberg returned to manage the Chiefs in 2008. He later became manager of MLB's Philadelphia Phillies.A Midwest League single-game attendance record was set on July 29, 2008 when the Chiefs drew a crowd of 32,103 to Wrigley Field in Chicago for a game against the Kane County Cougars.On August 21, 2012, it was reported that the Chiefs would lose their affiliation with the Cubs to the Cougars (also in the Midwest League) following the 2012 season.
