: Can anyone tell me the name of the Royals Baseball team in 1951? One of my deceased relatives played for them in 1951 for three weeks.

Hi,

Someone may know better than me, but as I understand it the Royals have been named the Royals since their start, in 1969.

The Athletics were in Kansas City during the fifties, but I think they moved there (from Philly) in 1955.

The Kansas City Monarchs were there in 1951, I think. This was the Negro League Team of Jackie Robinson fame.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Chris
