History[]

The Utah–Idaho Intermountain League began minor league play as an Independent four–team league in 1900 with the Ogden Lobsters, Pocatello Indians, Rio Grande Rios, and Short Line Shorts as the charter members.[1][2]

The Utah–Idaho Intermountain League began play on April 25, 1900. Ogden Lobsters won the 1900 Utah-Idaho Intermountain League Championship, finishing with a 32–13 regular season record, 4.5 games ahead of the 2nd place Rio Grande Rios (23–20). They were followed by the Pocatello Indians (21–24) and Short Line Shorts (12–23) in the final standings. There were no playoffs.[3][4][5][6]

The Utah–Idaho Intermountain League permanently folded after the 1900 season ended on September 19, 1900. In 1901, the Ogden franchise and a Salt Lake City franchise joined two new clubs in another four–team league known similarly as the Inter-Mountain League.[7]
