On June 8, 1901, the Railway Ducks, with a 5–7 record, sold the franchise to the owner of the Lagoon Resort. The Salt Lake City based Railway Ducks relocated to become the "Lagoon Farmers."[2][3][4]
In the final 1901 standings, the Lagoon Farmers finished in third place. The Ogden Lobsters won the championship with a 31–10 record, followed by the Salt Lake City White Wings (26–15), Railway Ducks / Lagoon Farmers (23–19) and Park City Miners (3–39). Park City folded during the season and the rest of their scheduled games were forfeited, as reflected in the final standings. The Railway/Lagoon team was managed by James Clippinger and John Crichlow and finished 8.5 games behind the first place Ogden Lobsters in the final standings. Lagoon pitcher Harry Newmeyer led the Inter-Mountain League with 129 strikeouts.[1][5][6]
The Utah State League permanently folded as a minor league after the 1902 season. The team records and standings for the 1902 league are unknown, but rosters exist. Lagoon/Farmington has not hosted another minor league team.[9][10][7][3]
The ballpark
Lagoon teams were noted to have played minor league home games on the Lagoon Resort grounds. A 1911 map shows the ballpark next to the "Lagoon Summer Resort & Picnic Grounds". The site is still a resort and amusement park today, located in Farmington, Utah.[11][4][12]
