History

The A's arrived in Medicine Hat in 1977, an expansion team for the Pioneer League along with the Calgary Cardinals. [1] The A's had relocated from Boise, Idaho, where they had played two seasons as the Boise A's in the Northwest League. [1] The A's finished in fifth place within the six-team Pioneer League; [2] four members of the team would go on to appear in the major leagues. [3] After the season, the team changed their affiliation to the Toronto Blue Jays [4] and played 25 seasons as the Medicine Hat Blue Jays.
