There’s nothing that says summer in Kansas City like a warm evening at the ballpark. Our crew loves cheering on the Kansas City Monarchs at
Legends Field for a kid friendly, affordable option for baseball.
About the Kansas City Monarchs
The Monarchs play in the American Association of Professional Baseball, an MLB Partner League. The league’s 12 teams are not directly affiliated with MLB organizations, which means winning games for their fans is their top priority.
The name Kansas City Monarchs honors the legendary Negro League franchise that played from 1920 to 1965. The team featured numerous notable players over the years, including Hall of Famers Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Hilton Smith, Willard Brown, Ernie Banks, and Buck O’Neil.
Today’s Monarchs carry on the legacy of those that came before them while supporting the mission of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. A portion of all Monarchs proceeds are given back to the museum.
