Caldwell Cubs


The Caldwell Cubs were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Pioneer League. The Caldwell Cubs were located in the Western United States, in the town of Caldwell, Idaho, west of Boise.

History

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, and were runners-up in 1966. Lack of attendance was cited as the reason for the club's demise in January 1972; they drew only 11,000 at home during the 1971 season, an average of 315 per game.

The ballpark

The Caldwell Cubs played at Simplot Stadium, located at 2415 Blaine Street Caldwell, Idaho. The stadium is still in use today by The College of Idaho teams.
