The Kansas City T-Bones make their American Association debut Thursday night in El Paso, TX with an 8:05 p.m. CT game against the El Paso Diablos.

Kansas City made the jump to the American Association this offseason after spending their first eight years as members of the Northern League. The T-Bones move – along with the Winnipeg Goldeyes, Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks and Gary SouthShore RailCats – gives the AA 14 teams for 2011.

The T-Bones four-game series against El Paso to begin the season will mark their first ever meeting with the Diablos. The games Thursday-Saturday will begin at 8:05 p.m. CT, and Sunday’s finale will start at 7:05 p.m. CT.

You can catch all the action this weekend – and throughout the season – on KUDL Radio Bach 1660 AM or through the Listen Live link on the left-side of the T-Bones website.

Kansas City returns home on Tuesday, May 17 to open their home campaign with a six-game homestand from May 17-22. Call 913-328-5618 to secure your seats for the 2011 season now!
