| History of the FCA Grays |
| Where it all began!
In 2005, FCA launched it's first summer collegiate baseball team, the FCA Grays! This team is made up of some of the top college baseball players in the country who want to develop their baseball skills and grow in their faith during the summer. The name "Grays" was adopted prior to the summer of 2005 by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in a nationwide poll. The Grays are based here in Kansas City, the location of FCA's Worldwide Headquarters. We are very pleased to have received permission from our friends and neighbors here in Kansas City at the Negro Leagues Museum, to honor one of the greatest Baseball teams of all time...the Homestead Grays. |
