A MESH THROWBACK UNIFORM HONORING THE TOPEKA, KANSAS MINOR LEAGUE TEAM
History: Based in Topeka, Kansas, the defunct minor league team Topeka Owls finished their ‘47 campaign with a stellar 83-55 record, two games back of the Salina Blue Jays. Topeka had three players among league leaders: Butch Nieman (HR and RBI), pitcher Ross Grimsley, Sr. (strikeouts), and pitcher Lee Dodson (ERA and winning percentage).
Not only recognized as the Topeka Owls, the Topeka team, starting in the 1860s, had other names over the years as well, including the Capitals, Hawks, Senators, Jayhawks, Kaws, and Populists.
