(Please inform Tom Schleper if you know of more information that could be included in these reports or if you have other noteworthy performances/games by S.H.S. teams or players)

Home games were played at Riverside Park from 1937 through 1983 and at Tahpah Park/Joe Schleper Baseball Stadium from 1984 to present.

1937: Shakopee High School played its first season of baseball. E.J. McDonald was the head coach. The namesake of SHS’s baseball field Warren Stemmer was a freshman on the team. Paul Rosen, John Kline, Lawerence Hamilton, Harold Huss, and Ralph Lebens were also on the first squad. Games were played against Montgomery, Chaska, Jordan, and Bloomington; Shakopee did not join a conference until 1941. 1943: The first baseball conference championship was recorded. The 1943 team went undefeated; they were also the District 18 Champs (there was no state high school baseball tournament at that time). June 27, 1951: The 1951 team took its unblemished 100 record into the school's first ever baseball state tournament game at Owatonna but lost 21 to Austin. On June 28, S.H.S. was ousted from the tournament by St. Paul Washington 65 in 13 innings, finishing the season 102. May 8, 1956: Shortstop Chuck Kreuser went 4 for 4 including a triple and walk with 4 runs scored in an 189 victory over Watertown. May 15, 1956: S.H.S. pitcher Lowell Stark threw a threehitter and struck out 15 Eden Prairie batters in a 131 Shakopee victory. May 22, 1957: Shakopee trounced Eden Prairie 180 behind a twohit pitching performance by freshman George Lill. Lill struck out 10 in the gem. Left fielder Mike Williamson and Lill led the offense. Both players went 3 for 4. Williamson scored 4 runs and belted 3 RBI's with 2 doubles and a triple. Lill scored 3 runs and had 4 RBI's while swiping 3 bases.
