Wichita Dreamliners NBC Champions Tee

The Wichita Rapid Transit Dreamliners were the hometown team to beat in the 1960’s NBC World Series tournaments. The team was created by Bernie Calkins, the owner of the Wichita public transit system which donned the same name. Calkins himself was a former baseball player in the NBC Kansas tournaments in the early 1930’s. Calkins would invite top minor league and former major league players to play for his semipro team in Wichita, even offering some of the players jobs with his bus company.
