The Kansas City Blues are a former minor league baseball team located in Kansas City,
Missouri. The team was one of the eight founding members of the American Association.

The Blues did not field particularly competitive teams unil 1918, when they won the AA pennant.
 The team won again in 1923, and again in 1929. They won the Junior World Series championship
 that year, defeating the Rochester Red Wings of the International League in a best-of-nine series.


In 1936, the Blues became a farm club of the New York Yankees. They won the AA championships
 five times in the 1930s and 1940s. When the American League Philadelphia Athletics moved to
Kansas City in 1955, the Blues moved to Denver, Colorado.
