The Salt Lake Trappers were one of the most successful minor league baseball teams of all time, both on the field and at the gate. Playing in the independent Pioneer League, the team was so successful that it was ultimately displaced by a team from the higher level AAA Pacific Coast League.
The Pioneers were a Pocatello, Idaho entry in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in 1990 and 1991. Owing to the lack of a Major League Player Development Contract, the Pioneers were dreadful last-place finishers in both of their Pioneer League campaigns. Their .214 winning percentage in 1990 was the worst in all of Organized Baseball that summer.
