The Davenport Hawkeyes were a minor league baseball team based in Davenport, Iowa. In 1888 and 1889, the Hawkeyes were charter members of the independent level Central Interstate League, winning the league's first championship in 1888. The Hawkeyes were preceded by the first minor league team in Davenport, the 1879 Davenport "Brown Stockings" of the Northwestern League. The Hawkeyes were succeeded by the 1891 Davenport "Pilgrims" of the 1891 Illinois-Iowa League. In 1888, Davenport briefly hosted a second team of the season, the Davenport "Onion Weeders" who finished the season as a member of the Class A level Western Association after the Minneapolis Millers team relocated to Davenport.
In 1879, at age 19, Baseball Hall of Fame member Bid McPhee played for the Davenport Brown Stockings.
