The Springfield Lucky Horseshoes are the new Prospect League baseball team playing at Robin Roberts Stadium, replacing the Sliders. Emperor of engagement Andrew Miller tells us more.

The league is for college players to further develop during the summer. Players often stay with host families. If you are interested in hosting a player, contact Carrie@ShoesBaseball.com.
