History of the Americas; Local history; Baseball

Tulsa's longest relationship with any professional sport has been with baseball. And that love affair with its minor league teams has endured its share of peaks and valleys, of passionate embraces, periods of frustration and despair and joyous celebrations. Ten major league franchises, from powerhouses such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals to the woeful St. Louis Browns, have placed developmental teams in Tulsa with varying degrees of success.

Tulsa Baseball History: 2026 Edition tells the stories of the men who played for Tulsa's teams as well as others who came through town and left their mark on the sport, for better or for worse. You can read about ...

How a crude invention by the manager of the 1966 Tulsa Oilers helped young boys and girls around the world to hit a baseball...and how he lost out on millions of dollars by not marketing tee-ball correctly.

A fan who was fed up with constant booing, so he created a rallying cry that was synonymous with Tulsa baseball.

How the 1921 Oilers and their home stadium were involved in one of America's darkest hours, the Tulsa Race Massacre.

What happened when future Hall of Fame players and managers visited the Oil Capital of the World to play exhibition games.

How the Tulsa Drillers became the launching pad for superstar careers of several members of the Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, and Los Angeles Dodgers.

And how the 1966 Oilers lost nine games in a row and, incredibly, strengthened their hold on first place.
