The Pittsburg Pirates was the name of three historic minor league baseball teams, based in Pittsburg, Kansas. The first Pirates' team played 1909 as a member of the class-C Western Association. Over a decade later, a second Pirates' team played in the class-D Southwestern League for the 1921 season. The final incarnation of the Pirates occurred on July 7, 1952, when the Bartlesville Pirates, a class-D affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League, relocated from Oklahoma to finish their 1952 season in Kansas.
