The team formerly known as the Kansas City T-Bones ran into problems paying its rent and utility bills and was evicted from its home field in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Now under new ownership, the organization made a deal with the museum to change its name and tell the story of the preeminent and longest-playing team of the Negro Leagues.
