The Nevada Lunatics were a minor league baseball team based in Nevada, Missouri. Preceded by the 1901 Nevada "Reds," the Nevada teams played exclusively as members of the Missouri Valley League, with the "Lunatics" winning the 1902 league championship. Nevada teams hosted home minor league games at Centennial Park. The "Lunatics" nickname corresponded to Nevada serving as home to the Missouri State Hospital for the Insane in the era.
