The Royal Oak Leprechauns is a Summer Collegiate Baseball Team that plays in the Northwoods League.

The Northwoods League, a proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 26 teams, drawing over 1.3 million fans.

With roots in the Irish Hills of Michigan, the Leprechauns played ball for close to a decade in Irish Hills, and also at Siena Heights University. With years of planning and finally the support from an angel sponsor: major leaguer and New York Yankees second basemen DJ LeMahieu, the Leprechauns had the proper support system to move to a prime-time location at 13-mile road and Woodward Ave in Royal Oak, Michigan. Moving east to Royal Oak was no easy feat as it required planning with the city and commitment from staff, the board, and also fans. Royal Oak which has been a hometown community of many of the Leprechauns staff and players was the perfect landing place for the team.

Memorial Park became the ideal location, but it needed an immense amount of renovations. A park where many kids have grown up playing tournaments, and a place where community members have enjoyed the adjacent city park and Woodward Dream Cruise festivities needed a proper facelift that could bring back the history and class that this location has historically held. The Leprechauns worked with DJ LeMahieu and the city of Royal Oak to completely transform this park before the move was even announced by installing new sound equipment, dugouts, sidewalks, fencing, and state-of-the-art infield turf along with a brand-new digital scoreboard provided by DJ LeMahieu in left field.
