context_page_description: The Hannibal Cannibals was the original nickname of the minor league baseball teams based in Hannibal, Missouri. Hannibal played in numerous leagues under differing monikers between 1908–1955.
  Hannibal was an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns.
  Hannibal is the hometown of author Mark Twain, also known as Samuel Clemens, the namesake of the Hannibal baseball park: Clemens Field.
context_section_description: Clemens Field, named for native Samuel Clemens, was built in 1938 as a Works Project Administration (WPA) Project and was home to the Hannibal teams thereafter. After little usage, Clemens Field underwent a major renovation in 2009. Now, the stadium has the original grandstand and brick wall perimeter, holding 2,500. Clemens Field is located at 403 Warren Buffett Drive, Hannibal, Missouri.
  Previous to Clemens Field, the earlier Hannibal teams played at Mainland's Park (1910–1917), located at Market Street in the Oakwood neighborhood and League Park (1908–1909), located at the corner of Lyon and Glasscock Street, Hannibal, Missouri.
