The Queens Kings were the Toronto Blue Jays' Short-Season A classification team in the New York–Penn League in the 2000 season. The team was formerly the St. Catharines Stompers and was sold by the Blue Jays and relocated to Queens, New York City, New York and played at The Ballpark at St. Johns. The following season (2001), the team moved to the New York City borough of Brooklyn and became the Brooklyn Cyclones, an affiliate of the New York Mets. Of note, Alex Ríos, who earned a spot on the 2006 and 2007 American League All Star Roster, played his first season in professional baseball with the Queens Kings. Other former Queens Kings to reach the majors include Cleveland Indians catcher Guillermo Quiróz and former pitcher Brandon Lyon. Mike Smith also played for the Kings. Rich Thompson led the team in hits and stolen bases.{{cite web |title=2000 Queens Kings Statistics |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=8c77bee6 |website=Baseball-Reference.com |publisher=Sports Reference |access-date=13 July 2024 |language=en}}
