EASTERN IDAHO — The summer baseball season is now fully in effect, with the Idaho Falls Chukars, Gate City Grays and American Legion seasons all underway.

The Grays opened their 2026 season with a doubleheader sweep against the Brigham Peaches on Friday. The Chukars, on the other hand, have struggled mightily and currently own just one win.

At the high school level, local American Legion and travel ball teams have begun their seasons and are preparing for the long summer of games.

Here are some of our favorite photos from the week.
