From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cairo Egyptians were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the KITTY League on and off from 1903-1950.

The team, based in Cairo, Illinois played in the first Kitty League from 1903-1906 as the Egyptians (1903), Champions (1904) and Giants (1905-1906). It resurfaced as the Egyptians from 1911-1914 in the second Kitty League, then returned from 1922-1924 in another incarnation of the league.

For the final Kitty league, the team played from 1946-1950 before folding for good. In 1949, they were a Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate known as the Cairo Dodgers.
