The Chicago Dogs franchise was officially awarded three days before the start of the 2017 American Association to begin play in 2018. The club served as the de facto replacement for the Laredo Lemurs and the AA’s 2017 travel team, the Salina Stockade.

Chicago became the first American Association club to be based in Illinois and the second in the Chicagoland area, joining the Gary SouthShore RailCats, who are located just over an hour away in Northwest Indiana.

Catcher Ryan Lidge played in Chicago from 2020-23, being named a midseason and postseason All-Star twice apiece. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in games (271), batting average (.320), hits (316), runs (169), doubles (160), and RBI (190)
