There were some notable members of the Legends. Among the young prospects, Iowa politician J. D. Scholten made his professional baseball debut with the Legends.^[3] Older players also joined the team, including former Montreal Expos pitcher Floyd Youmans.^[4] The team was managed by former MLB all-star Ron LeFlore.^[5][6]

The team was largely a success on the field, however that success did not translate into success with attendance. The team challenged the Calgary Outlaws for the West Division title, right up until the all-star break which occurred at the end of the season. They finished the abbreviated season with a 22-15 record, good for second place in the West Division behind the Calgary Outlaws.^[4]
