The Salt Lake Stingers are a Pacific Coast League (PCL) minor league baseball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The team is owned by Joe Buzas, and serves as the Class AAA affiliate of the major league's Los Angeles Angels. They play their home games at Franklin Covey Field, which was opened in 1994 and seats 15,500 fans. The Angels won the 2002 World Series and made history in game 7 when rookie pitcher John Lackey, called up from the Stingers earlier in the year, pitched and won the game. He became the first rookie to do so in nearly 100 years. The Stingers were formerly known as the Buzz, but the change was forced by a lawsuit filed by Georgia Tech, whose Yellow Jacket mascot is named Buzz.
