Kansas City Monarchs
The
Kansas City Monarchs
were the longest-running franchise in the history of
baseball
's
Negro Leagues
. Operating in
Kansas City, Missouri
and owned by
J. L. Wilkinson
, they were charter members of the
Negro National League

1930
. J. L. Wilkinson was the first Caucasian owner at the time of the establishment of the team.

In 1930, the Monarchs became the first professional baseball team to use a portable lighting system which was transported from game to game in trucks
[2]
to play games at night, five years before any major league team did. The Monarchs won ten league championships before integration, and triumphed in the first
Negro League World Series
in 1924. The Monarchs had only one season in which they did not have a winning record.

After sending more players to the major leagues than any other Negro League franchise, the team was finally disbanded in
1965
.
Here is a link to their album on my Photobucket...
