Organized professional baseball in Kansas City began in 1884 but has seen few milestones. Notably, Carl DeRose pitched the first nine-inning perfect game in American Association history in 1947. The city hosted the 1960 All-Star Game and the final Negro League East-West All-Star Game in 1962, while Early Wynn secured his 300th career victory against the Athletics in 1963. In a unique stunt, Campy Campaneris played all nine positions in a 1965 game to draw fans.
