Antelopes

The Antelopes were playing before baseball
was organized into leagues. The National League began in 1876.
|
The Antelopes
played
near at Exercise Field at 14th
& McGee, without a grandstand, stadium or scoreboard.

Hickok was a regular fan at the Saturday afternoon games. Once,
Wild
Bill umpired a baseball game between the Kansas City Antelopes and the
archrival Pomeroys of Atchison. With an umpire standing behind
the
plate armed with a pair of six-shooters, neither players nor the
hot-blooded
fans disputed a single call. The Antelopes won the game by 48 to 28 and
Wild Bill Hickok rode off the field in triumph in an open carriage
pulled
by a pair of white horses. |

Kansas City's First Professional Baseball
Team
with the Unions logo
|
Charter
franchise. Relocated from Altoona Pride in April and May 1884 before
moving
to Kansas City. Folded with league September 1884.
When Altoona
folded in
early June, Union Association president Henry V. Lucas was forced to
seek
a replacement. He turned to Kansas City to fill the void, a city he
should
have considered over Altoona before the start of the season anyway. In
order to join the UA, team owner Americus V. McKim was forced to accept
the most restrictive condition ever imposed on a club: even though
Kansas
City's games would count in their opponents' records, Kansas City could
not win a championship. In effect, the Unions would be in the UA but
would
have no official record.
First
association game of baseball in Kansas City played at Athletic Park
(field
located at Southwest Boulevard and Summit Streets) between the Kansas
City
Unions and Chicago Unions, June 7, 1884, with 1,500 in attendance, and
Chicago winning 6-5.
As it turned out,
this
restriction proved irrelevant as Kansas City won just 16 times in 79
games. The team had to be assembled so quickly that many of the
players met
for
the first time as they assembled for the club's first game.
The
team was sometimes referred to as the "Unions" but had no official
nickname,
but was rarely referred to anything but the "Unions", "Cowboys" or
"Kaycees". The press would sometimes call them the
"Onions".
Despite the
team's anemic
record, they were a good draw in Kansas City. At an end of season
banquet,
McKim announced that the team had turned a $7000 profit. An
exaggeration
or not, Kansas City was far more successful financially than any other
Union Association team. The Unions would draw crowds of 3-5,000
for Sunday games. So successful was the team financially, that
McKim
began preparing for the 1885 season. He sent manager Ted Sullivan east
to sign new players and also had plans to build a new ball park.
Meanwhile,
the rest of the Union Association continued to crumble.

1886. Charter franchise, disbanded after 1886 season. League: AL
1900, Western Lg 1901-1903 Franchise: Became Kansas City Blues (Class A
American Assoc.) 1904.
The Kansas City
Cowboys
joined the National League when Indianapolis failed to fund a franchise
for that city.
The long
distances that
other teams had to travel to reach Kansas City and crowds that were
usually
sparse as well as rowdy proved to be the team's downfall. After the
season,
in which the Cowboys finished 7th, rumors that both Kansas City and 8th
place St. Louis Maroons would be dropped from the League
persisted.
At the March 9th,
1887
NL meeting, the authorization of the Cowboys' purchase of the Maroons
was
refused and both Kansas City and St. Louis were dropped from the
league.
Kansas City's owners were forced to accept a $6,000 buyout from the
League.
Overall record:
30 Wins-
91 Losses. Their uniforms were WHITE, with COWBOYS printed across
their chest.
Home Field:
Association
Park and League Park.
In 1886, the Cowboys had two sets of uniforms: 1) white with blue caps
and stockings and 2) chocolate with red caps and stockings. The team
was also referred to as the Red Lions.

The Blues were
Kansas
City's third major league team in five years. The Blues were an
improvement
over the previous National League and Union Association teams that the
city had fielded yet they still found themselves overmatched in the
American
Association.
Kansas City had a
new
club in a new league, but under the same ownership and with the same
manager,
the team put together the same poor season that its predecessors
had.
When Baltimore also resigned from the league, the Blues lost their last
ally in the struggle. Wary of the impending Players' League war, Kansas
City also resigned and applied for membership in the minor Western
Association.
Home Field:
Association
Park and Exposition Park.
The nickname
Blues derived
from the blue uniforms they wore in contrast to the white suits of the
American Association Cowboys. Blues
uniforms: blue stockings, blue caps, blue pontaloons, blue jerseys
until an effort to increase ticket sales, they changed to a
cream-color. After fan disapproval, two weeks later, they changed
back to the blue uniforms.
Game admission: 25 cents. A Blues pitcher, in 1888 was Charles
"Kid" Nichols, a future Hall of Famer.
After
1900, the Kansas City Blues later became the Washington Senators, now
the
Minnesota Twins.

The Kansas City
franchise
origins began in 1913 in Covington, Kentucky. The team moved to
Kansas
City in late June, 1913. The Kansas City Packers lost to the
Chicago Federals in the first game in Weeghman Park, on April 23, 1914,
which was later known as the famous Wrigley Field!

with league after 1915 season. The Federal League lost in the war
against the Majors- National League and American League. (Yes, at
one time there was THREE major leagues of baseball)
The spitball was

in these days. The Packers were in 1st place with a 57-42 record
on 8/8/1915, but ended up in 4th place with an 81-72 record.

Rizzuto
and Vince DiMaggio. From
1950-1954, the Kansas City Blues supplied the Yankees with 71 players.
Most baseball
teams did
not wear numbers on their jerseys prior to 1930.
In 1935, the KC
Blues
were a farm club of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The 1939 Blues
(107W-47L)
were Kansas City's best minor league time of all time, according to
historians
Bill Weiss and Marshall Wright, who were ranked 12th among their top
100.
The team was an affiliate of the New York Yankees and was owned by Co.
Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees.
The 1923 Blues
(112W-54L)
were ranked as the 18th best minor league team. The 1923 Blues
Team
had nine .300 hitters that year, including Bunny Brief (home run king
of
the American Assoc.) and Dutch Zwilling, who became the team manager
and
later president of the Ban Johnson League. The 1923 Blues set a
league
attendance record of 425,000, and would often win the annual "Hickey
Cup", for the top attendance. The 1929 Blues
(111W-56L)
were the 28th best. The team moved
to Denver (final game in Kansas City on Sept 12, 1954) when the
Philadelphia Athletics came to town as the
Kansas City Athletics.

The team was
originally organized by the owner of Jenkins Music Company. But
when games began to be played on Sunday's, the owner withdrew support.
The new owner, J.L. Wilkinson, the only white man in the Negro National
Leagues, had players suggest the team name be the Kansas City Browns.
The owner later settled on the team name, Monarchs. The
longest
running franchise
in Negro Leagues history! They became Negro Leagues answer to the
New York Yankees! The Negro National League was formed in Kansas
City
on Feb. 20, 1920 by Rube Foster in a meeting at the Paseo YMCA in
Kansas City, MO.

In the 1920's the Monarchs (and All Nations team) were
outfitted by Schmalzer's Sporting Goods, located at 1012-14 Grand Ave.,
Kansas City, MO. In the 1920's , the average black player earned
$135-175 a month during a six month season. (a local meat packer made
$80 per month) In 1926, the price of a Monarch's ticket dropped
from $1.10 to .75, which was the lowest in the league.

thirty years of organized play (1920–1950) they won two world series,
ten
pennants, and had only one losing season!
In 1934, the Kansas City
Monarchs
draw so many fans to Sunday baseball games that black churches adjust
their
worship hours. In 1943, The Monarchs thrill their fans with
43 straight wins. The Monarchs had a "mascot", who was a young
aspiring to be player, who posted the score each inning on an outfield
scoreboard. The mascot also had the responsibility of carrying
the players equipment and luggage. The Monarchs were one of the
few Negro League
teams
to be owned by a white man, Tom Wilkinson. The Monarch's team
included
famous players such as Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Ernie Banks,

MLB- American League

In 1953,
Kansas City was felt to be in the running for the St. Louis Browns
franchise, but final approval was to relocate the Browns to Baltimore
and they became the Orioles.
Team Nickname:
In the
late 19th Century sports fans who worked at various Philly Athletic
Clubs
came together and formed a baseball team named Athletics (as many similarly formed
teams were known as). In 1955,
Kansas City joined only 16 other cities that had a major-league
baseball team, then the most watched pro sport. When it was
announced that the Athletics would move to Kansas City, some people
wanted to change the nickname. Cowboys was a popular suggestion.
They kept the Athletics name due to the long term tradition of the
franchise name. The traditional white elephant emblem was
modernized and the elephant was now balanced on a large baseball with a
baseball bat in his trunk. Kansas City was
the western most city in baseball at the time. Merle Harmon was the
first radio announcer for the team, which were broadcast on KMBC (980)
radio. Schlitz Brewing Company was the first big sponsor.
When the Athletics first came to town, 150,000 people lined a parade
route, welcoming them to town.
In 1902
John McGraw manger of the New
York
Giants referred to the Athletics as the "White Elephants", implying
Mack
shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision. Mack defiantly
adopted the White Elephant as the team insignia, and in 1902, the A's
won
the American League pennant. KC Owner Charles Finley replaced the
elephant mascot with a Missouri Mule in 1963.
Relocated from
Philadelphia
Athletics in 1955. Became Oakland Athletics in 1968. The A's
never had a winning record and never finished higher than seventh place
in a ten team American
Leauge. From 1955-1959, the A's and New York Yankees traded with
an unparralled frequency, 16 transactions involving 61 players.
Mascot:
"Charley
O" the Mule (note the Kansas Chiefs had a horse, named Warpaint at the
time).
In 1963, Charley Finley changed
the team’s colors to “Kelly Green, Fort Knox Gold and Wedding Gown
White.” In 1967, he replaced the team’s traditional black cleats with
white ones. And, in 1963, he replaced the traditional elephant mascot
with a Missouri mule – not just a cartoon logo, but a real mule, which
he named after himself -- “Charlie O, the Mule.”
On April 12, 1955
the
first game at Municipal Stadium, with 32,844 present to see the A's
beat
the Detroit Tigers 6-2. The first pitch was thrown by Independence
native and former President of the US, Harry S. Truman.

Royals first game ever beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 in 12 innings, with
Lou Piniella leading off and getting the first Royal hit, a double. The first game
at Royals Stadium was on April 10, 1973, where a crowd of 39,464 see
the
Royals slaughter the Texas Rangers 12-1. Royals Stadium-- 1973 to
1993. It was quite fitting when the Royals won their first American
League West Title in 1976, by beating the team and owner who left
Kansas City, Charley Finley's Oakland Athletics (formerly the Kansas City Athletics) Then when the
Kansas City Royals finally beat the New York Yankees in the 1980 ALCS,
it was such a big victory against the Yankees storied franchise in
which they had lost the '76, '77 and '78 ALCS series. The Bronx
Bombers also had such a rich history with Kansas City, with the Kansas
City Blues being their AAA farm year of the past and the Kansas City
Atheltics making many trades with the Yanks as if they were their farm
team.

Dodgers script on their uniforms. With Kansas City Baseball
history being so rich with Blues Baseball teams, the Royal Blue color
seems appropriate. Royals Stadium
was changed
to Kauffman Stadium on 7/2/1993 to current. Kauffman
Stadium (formerly Royals Stadium) is part of the Harry S. Truman
Sports
Complex, which includes Arrowhead Stadium.
Team colors:
Blue, White
and Gold.
