Omaha Royals
The Omaha Royals are a minor league baseball team based in Omaha, Nebraska. The team, which plays in the Pacific Coast League, is the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals major-league club. The Royals play in Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, home to the College World Series. Omaha has been the only Triple-A location for the Kansas City Royals since their inception in 1969. Prior to 1998, the Omaha Royals played in the American Association.

Beginning with the 1999 season, the team name was changed to the Omaha Golden Spikes. The name change, a reference to the Golden Spike driven at Promontory Summit, Utah was intended to celebrate the rich railroad tradition in Omaha, headquarters of the Union Pacific Railroad. The name change proved to be unpopular, and after three seasons the team name was changed back to the Omaha Royals in 2002.
