Minor league baseball began in 1898 with the Salina Blues, who moved twice and played championship baseball as members of the Class D level Kansas State League.[1][2] The Blues won the league championship with a 9–5 record, having the best overall record when the league folded. The franchise moved to Junction City, Kansas on August 4, 1989 and back to Salina on August 8, 1898 before the league disbanded on Aug 19, 1898.[3][4][5][6]

The Salina Trade Winners joined the 1908 Class D level Central Kansas League as charter members in the new league. Other 1908 charter members were the Ellsworth Blues, Little River, Kansas, McPherson Merry Macks, Minneapolis Minnies and Newton Browns.[3][7]

After the 1910 season, four teams in the Central Kansas League folded, including Salina.[3][7]

The Salina Insurgents returned to membership in the six–team Central Kansas League in 1912. The Salina Insurgents finished last with a 31–59 record, to place 6th under manager Burt Lamb in the final season of the league. The Central Kansas League folded permanently after the 1912 season.[3][13]

The Salina Insurgents completed the season and finished with a 26–63 record, placing 4th in the Kansas State League. The managers were Mike Welday and Lon Ury.[3][14][15][16]

Continuing play in the four–team Class D level Kansas State League in 1914, Salina renamed as the Salina Coyotes. The Salina Coyotes placed 2nd, with a 47–41 record in 1914, finishing 8.0 games behind the 1st place Emporia Bidwells, playing the season under manager Dick Rohn. The Kansas State League folded permanently after the completion of the 1914 season.[17][3][18][19]
