The Kansas City Monarchs – Season Opener Set for May 9th

Baseball fans, get ready—the Kansas City Monarchs are back! The reigning American Association champions are kicking off their 2024 season on May 9th, bringing their high-energy, hard-hitting style of baseball back to Legends Field. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the game, this is the perfect time to catch the Monarchs in action.

A New Chapter for the Monarchs

The Monarchs, one of the most historic names in baseball, have become a dominant force in the American Association of Professional Baseball (AAPB). Since rebranding from the Kansas City T-Bones in 2021, they’ve honored the legacy of the original Negro Leagues Monarchs while building a powerhouse team of their own.

After a strong 2023 season, the Monarchs are looking to defend their title and make another deep playoff run. With a mix of returning stars, new talent, and fan-favorite promotions, the 2024 season is shaping up to be one for the books.
