Getting to know the Blue Jays affiliates – Lansing Lugnuts

The Lansing Lugnuts are the single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays in the Midwest League. This full-season team has been part of the Blue Jays system since 2005 and has a rather historic track record. The team was founded as the Lafayette Red Sox in 1955 and would eventually become the Lugnuts.

They moved to Lansing as part of the Kansas City Royals’ organization in 1995. The stadium at the time was named Oldsmobile Park and has since evolved into a beautiful ballpark in downtown Lansing named Cooley Law School Stadium.

The organization has had a collection of different affiliates over the years as they have been moved around.
