History
[
edit
]
A
rookie
league affiliate of the
Chicago Cubs
, the team played in the
Pioneer League
from 1964 through 1971, and their home field was
Simplot Stadium
in Caldwell. During their first three seasons, they were known as the
Treasure Valley
Cubs
as nearby Boise had lost its minor league team after the 1963 season.
The Treasure Valley Cubs were champions of the Pioneer League in their first two seasons,
[1]
and were runners-up in 1966.
[2]
Lack of attendance was cited as the reason for the club's demise in January 1972;
[3]
they drew only 11,000 at home during the 1971 season, an average of 315 per game.
