The Kansas City T-Bones rebranded to the Monarchs ahead of the 2021 season and are a continuation of the franchise that has been located in Kansas City, KS since 2003. The T-Bones originated as the Duluth-Superior Dukes, a Northern League charter member in 1993. The franchise relocated from Duluth, MN after the 2002 season, but the 1993-02 pre-relocation history of the club is not included here, nor is acknowledged by the present franchise.

While a tremendous success at the gate, the T-Bones struggled on the field for most of their first 15 seasons until Joe Calfapietra arrived in 2017 and turned the club into a power that has been an annual title contender for nearly a decade.

Since arriving in Kansas City in 2017, Joe Calfapietra has won the Miles Wolff Cup three times (2018, ’21, ’23) and reached the postseason six times. He surpassed 500 wins with the franchise during the 2026 season (Photo: Kansas City Monarchs)
