19th-Century Majors
Kansas City Unions
Active 1884 · 50 players
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Kansas City Unions itself — never folded into an unrelated modern club, which would fabricate a lineage that never existed. See the full index of lost clubs.
Mount Rushmore
The four largest measured careers at this club, by StatVault VAL attributed to Kansas City Unions itself. A season counts here only when Kansas City Unions is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 8 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 6 of 50 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
