History
Until the 2012 season, the team was located in Shreveport, Louisiana, and was known as the Shreveport-Bossier Captains. In late 2011, the franchise announced its move to Laredo, and the team was renamed. Media coverage suggested that the move was motivated by a deteriorating ballpark and the "inability of the local market to support professional baseball."
In September 2013, the Lemurs' Tano Tijerina, a former minor-league pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers' system, and the incoming County Judge for Webb County, was the starting pitcher in the inaugural "Family Chevrolet Sister Cities Baseball Classic" at Uni-Trade Stadium.
For the 2014 season the Laredo Lemurs will have new ownership with investors still yet to be announced.
