The Baltimore Spirit were founded by software designer Bill Stealey at the end of July 1992 and joined the National Professional Soccer League. The team replaced the earlier Baltimore Blast, who folded along with the originial MISL. When the team was purchased by Ed Hale, a former owner of the original team, the Spirit were renamed the Blast in 1998 (Hale had the rights to the Blast name, hence the reason why the team decided to change its name) and joined the new Major Indoor Soccer League in 2001.
