The UtahâÂÂIdaho League was a minor league baseball organization founded in 1926. Playing as a sixâÂÂteam, Class C level league for its duration, the UtahâÂÂIdaho League franchises were based exclusively in Idaho and Utah as the name indicates.
Fred M. Nye served as president of the UtahâÂÂIdaho League for its duration. The Pacific Coast League used the Utah-Idaho for player development. Travel costs in the mountainous territory plagued the league and it permanently folded following the 1928 season. Baseball Hall of Fame members Lefty Gomez, 1928 Salt Lake City Bees and Ernie Lombardi, 1927 Ogden Gunners played in the UtahâÂÂIdaho League.
