“We’re so excited to welcome Blue KC back to Legends Field this season,” Monarchs owner Mark Brandmeyer said. “From honoring the history of the Monarchs to creating our newest fun experience for fans, we’re fortunate to have such a great community partner.”
“We believe in the importance of supporting our local community and preserving the storied and rich history of African American baseball in Kansas City,” said Jenny Housley, Blue KC Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer. “By having a fun campaign centered around home runs and donating back to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, we are excited to partner again with the Kansas City Monarchs and cheering on our hometown teams.”
