The Niagara Falls Rapids were the last Major League-affiliated pro baseball team to play in Niagara Falls, New York. The Detroit Tigers short-season Class A farm club play five seasons in the New York-Penn League from 1989 to 1993. The Rapids won the league title in the final summer of play in 1993.
The Wichita Wranglers were the longest-tenured of several franchises that kept affiliated minor league baseball at Lawrence Dumont Stadium for nearly four decades between 1970 and 2007. The Wranglers followed the Wichita Aeros (1970-1984) and the Wichita Pilots (1987-1988). The club served as a farm team for the San Diego Padres from 1989 until 1994 and for the Kansas City Royals from 1995 until owner Bob Rich moved the team to Springdale, Arkansas after the 2007 season.
