Kansas City Cowboys, Uniform, Schedules & Stats


The only player from the Kansas City Cowboys (during their single season of existence) to lead a day-to-day stat was pitcher Stump Wiedman who led the National League in games lost & hits allowed.

Did you know that the team itself was founded by James Whitfield of the Kansas City Times and two local beer brewers, Joseph Heim & Americus McKim? The three of them had also funded the defunct 1884 Union Association Kansas City Cowboys and were able to raise $25,000 by February 10, 1886, for this National League franchise.

The Kansas City Cowboys finished 58½ games behind the leader and folded at seasons end. In 1888 an American Association team of the same name started, but they folded following the 1889 regular season.
