The Kansas City Monarchs joined the OOSL in the 1996 round of expansion. Their three year computer-controlled OOSL career record stands at 218-244 for a .472 Winning Percentage.
The Monarchs have always been an explosive club offensively. Such premier batsmen as Al "Bucketfoot" Simmons, Charlie "King Kong" Keller, Jesse Burkett, Mickey "Black Mike" Cochrane, among others, have taken their cuts for the Kansas City ball club. In 1998 however, the Monarchs got enough help on the mound from Dick "Cannonball" Redding (16-14, 3.26) and Juan Marichal (13-9, 3.99) to propel them into the playoffs for the first time, edging out the Flock from Brooklyn for the NL West title. The Monarchs then shocked the OOSL world by sweeping the heavily favored Red Legs in three games! The Monarchs Cinderella season ended there, however. Unable to recapture the magic in the NLCS, they were disposed of in five games by the eventual World's Champions, the New York Giants. The season's success brings much optimism for the future, however, as the the KC Nine look to be a contender for the foreseeable future.
