Description: The Sioux City Soos was the name of the minor league baseball team based in Sioux City, Iowa, playing in various seasons between 1888 and 1960. The name "Soos" in baseball came from a shortening of Sault Ste. Marie and Sioux City, the names of the cities where minor league teams were based. It is an abbreviation used for brevity, particularly by local newspapers in headlines. The Sioux City Soos of 1947-1958 were the fourth and final baseball club to play under the “Soos” name in the northwest Iowa city. Earlier versions of the Soos played in 1904, 1908-1909, and 1940-1941.
