Ogden, Orem could become lost cities in Minor League Baseball if MLB proposal eliminating 40 teams is approved

Ogden • Near life-size posters of former players who didn’t just make it to Major League Baseball but made it big there line the red brick walls inside Lindquist Field. Corey Seager, the 2016 National League Rookie of the Year, called the stadium home in 2012, when he was playing Rookie League ball for the Ogden Raptors. Six-time All-Star first-baseman Prince Fielder and Olympic gold-medal-winning pitcher Ben Sheets also began their brilliant careers there, as did Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda.

Rivaling their grandeur is the view that greets the more than three thousand fans who walk past the posters and up the ramps into the main bowl nightly when the Raptors are at home in the summer.
