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 legendary 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). June 27, 1951: The 1951 team took its unblemished 10-0 record into the school's first ever baseball state tournament game at Owatonna but lost 2-1 to Austin. On June 28, S.H.S. was ousted from the tournament by St. Paul Washington 6-5 in 13 innings! May 8, 1956: Shortstop Chuck Kreuser went 4 for 4 including a triple and walk with 4 runs scored in an 18-9 victory over Watertown. May 15, 1956: S.H.S. pitcher Lowell Stark threw a three-hitter and struck out 15 Eden Prairie batters in a 13-1 Shakopee victory.
