History

Cherryvale, Kansas hosted minor league baseball in 1906. During the season, the Cherryvale "Boosters" became members of the Class D level Kansas State League. The Boosters joined the Bartlesville Indians, Chanute Browns, Coffeyville Bricks, Fort Scott Giants, Independence Coyotes, Parsons Preachers and Pittsburg Champs as members in the eight–team league.[1][2]

Cherryvale gained a team during the 1906 season, their one season of minor league play. On June 15, 1906, the Iola Grays of the eight–team Class D level Kansas State League moved from Iola, Kansas to Cherryvale. Iola had a 23–18 record at the time of the move. After resuming play in Cherryvale, the Iola/Cherryvale team ended the 1906 season with a 62–50 overall record, playing under managers Dan Durand, Fred Hobart and Billy Burns. The Boosters finished 4.5 games behind the 1st place Independence Coyotes in the final standings. The Kansas State League did not return to play in 1907.[3][1][4][5]

Reportedly, the Cherryvale use of the "Boosters" moniker derived from fans. Upon beginning minor league play in 1906, the Cherryvale fans immediately formed a booster club to support the team.[6]

Cherryvale, Kansas has not hosted another minor league team.[7][8]
