The story is less about the record than about how the franchise got there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was the same team Pocatello had lost eighteen years earlier. The city's club moved to Ogden, Utah after the 1965 season, spent eight years there under two different names, moved again to Lethbridge, Alberta, and then came back to Pocatello for 1984 after two decades away. Few franchises make a round trip like that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1984 club played independently under manager Ron Mihal and finished with the worst record in the league. The 1985 team became an Oakland Athletics affiliate under Dave Hudgens and improved marginally, finishing third of four in its division. Its one bright spot was shortstop Walt Weiss, who made the league all-star team and went on to win American League Rookie of the Year in 1988 and manage the Colorado Rockies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gems suspended operations after 1985. Baseball came back to Pocatello in 1987 and stayed on and off through 1993, and Halliwell Park hosted all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional baseball in Pocatello goes back to 1900, and the city put together 35 seasons across the next nine decades. Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda ran the club there in 1965, the year before it left for Ogden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
