The Salt Lake Buzz were an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins in the Pacific Coast League from 1994 to 2000. The club began play when the Portland Beavers moved to Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Buzz had a winning record in each of their seven seasons and twice advanced to the PCL finals. Unfortunately, they lost to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in 1995 and to the Memphis Redbirds in 2000. After the 2000 season, the team became an Anaheim Angels affiliate and was renamed the Salt Lake Stingers.
