The last of the five NBBO leagues is the Prairie League. After seeing four teams leave for the MWBA it added four replacements to stay at ten going into the 1890s:
The new teams:
- The Council Bluffs Unions: Council Bluffs (IA) was the starting point of the Transcontinental Railroad and is home to the Union Pacific Railway Museum. The logo is based on the Union Pacific logo.
- The Davenport Riversiders: Davenport (IA) is located along the Mississippi River.
- The Kansas Blue Stockings: nod to a former minor league team named the Kansas City Blues, once managed by Tris Speaker and also the last minor league stop for Mickey Mantle before he joined the Yankees.
- The Southern Missouri Ozarks: the team's home city of Springfield (MO) is known as the "Queen City of the Ozarks".
