Tulsa Baseball History: 2025 Edition

Tulsa has a rich history with baseball, particularly with its professional minor-league teams. This enduring relationship has seen its fair share of highs and lows, with moments of passion, frustration, and triumph.

Currently, baseball in Tulsa is thriving, boasting record-breaking attendance, frequent playoff appearances, a top-tier stadium at the Double-A level, and a successful partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Over the years, Tulsa has been home to developmental teams from ten major league franchises, each with varying degrees of success.

Tulsa Baseball History: 2025 Edition dives into the captivating stories of the players who have donned Tulsa's professional baseball team uniforms and tales of opposing players and other influential figures in the city's baseball scene. Some of those highlights include:

- The manager of the 1966 Tulsa Oilers and his groundbreaking invention revolutionizing baseball for young boys and girls worldwide...and how he failed to make millions of dollars.

- The involvement of the 1921 Oilers and their home stadium in the Tulsa Race Massacre, a dark chapter in American history.

- A fan's powerful response to incessant booing and how it became a defining rallying cry for Tulsa baseball fans.

- The visits of future Hall of Fame players and managers to the Oil Capital of the World for exhibition games.

- The pivotal role of the Tulsa Drillers as a launching pad for superstars with the Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, and Los Angeles Dodgers.

- The intriguing connections between members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Tulsa.

- The remarkable story of how the 1966 Oilers defied the odds by losing nine games in a row...and strengthened their hold on first place.
