Park City Miners

History
Minor league baseball was first hosted in Park City, Utah in 1901, when the "Park City Miners" became charter members of the Inter-Mountain League. The league was an Independent level league that featured four clubs, all in Utah. The Ogden Lobsters, Salt Lake City White Wings and Railway Ducks / Lagoon Farmers teams joined the Park City Miners as charter members.

The "Miners" moniker was in reference to local industry, as Park City and the immediate area was home to silver mining, including the Ontario silver mine.

The Park City Miners finished in fourth place in 1901. The Park City franchise disbanded on July 15, 1901, and all remaining games were forfeited. Playing in the newly created four-team league, the Park City Miners had a 3–20 record when the team disbanded. Park City finished behind the Ogden Lobsters (31–10), Salt Lake City White Wings (26–15), Railway Ducks / Lagoon Farmers (23–19) in the standings. The Park City Miners finished with an accredited record of 3–39, playing the season under manager H.S. Townsend, after the forfeits were applied. Parks City finished 28.5 games behind the first place Ogden Lobsters in the final standings, as Ogden finished with a 31–10 record. The Inter-Mountain League folded after the 1901 season and Park City has not hosted another minor league team.

Today, the "Miners" moniker has been adopted by the athletic teams at Park City High School.
