The Pittsburg Pirates was the name of three short-lived historic minor league baseball teams, based in Pittsburg, Kansas.
The first Pirates' team played in 1909 as a member of the class-C Western Association. They played for a single season, compiling a 52-73 record, and finishing seventh of the eight teams in the league.[1]: 572–573
An unrelated second Pittsburg Pirates team played in the class-D Southwestern League for the 1921 season. They played for a single season, compiling a 87-63 record, and finishing third in the eight-team league.[1]: 533
The third and final Pirates team existed for a half-season. From 1946 through 1951, the Pittsburg Browns played in the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League. Before the 1952 season, the Browns moved to Independence, Kansas, leaving Pittsburg without a team. On July 7, 1952, in the middle of the season, the Bartlesville Pirates, a minor league affiliate of the Pittsburgh (PA) Pirates in the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League, relocated from Bartlesville, Oklahoma to Pittsburg. They played the remainder of their season as the Pittsburg Pirates, finishing with a 59-65 record, and losing a one-game playoff to the Miami Eagles. The team, along with the rest of the league, folded after the 1952 season.[1]: 359
