In 1895, Adrian, Michigan had two teams, also playing host to the Page Fence Giants of the negro leagues. With the two franchises sharing management, the Adrian Reformers signed six players from the Page Fence Giants during the 1895 season, integrating the Michigan State League and leading to the moniker change. The Reformers/Demons were followed in Adrian by the 1909 Adrian Yeggs, who began play in the Southern Michigan League. Adrian hosted all 1895 baseball home games at Lawrence Park.
Baseball Hall of Fame members Bud Fowler and Honus Wagner both played for Adrian in 1895.
