Kansas City Steers
The Kansas City Steers were an American basketball team based in Kansas City, Missouri that was a member of the American Basketball League. In their final season, 1963, their General Manager was Mike Cleary (for whom John Carroll University's Sports Studies Program is named), who had left George Steinbrenner's Cleveland Pipers the year before. When the ABL folded, 5 Kansas City Steers basketball players, including Bill Bridges and Larry Staverman, transitioned to the NBA.
