Pistol Shrimp team needs host families to house players

When the Pistol Shrimp baseball team plays and practices in Peru, its players will need places to stay. Manager June Keeley is asking for host families who can spare a private room and bed for free. If the player doesn’t have a car, he may need the family to give him rides to and from Veterans Park.

Keeley wants the applying families to know the compensation isn’t in cash. The family may form a close bond with the player. And the family will be recognized at baseball games.

Keeley tries to match families with players. Someone who’s allergic to cats shouldn’t stay with a family who has one, for example. And someone who wants to make particular religious observances may do it best while living with a family of the same faith. There’s more information at PistolShrimpBaseball.com
