The Okmulgee Drillers were a minor league baseball team that played in the Western Association from 1920 to 1927.
In 1925, they finished with an 80-71 record under managers Roy Corgan and Red Snapp, placing third in the league.
In their inaugural season, the Drillers began play at Petrolia Park, taking over after the diamond had been used as the spring training site for the Omaha Rourkes minor league team from the Class A Western League.
[8] The fairgrounds grandstand used in 1921 was the same one used in the inaugural 1920 season, but the alignment of the field was tilted further to the right to address concerns that the fans' view of players was being obscured by the late afternoon sun.
[9] Although the ballpark sometimes was referenced in terms of its location at the fairgrounds, local press accounts also referred to this field as Petrolia Park.
[10] In 1922, due to dissatisfaction with the fairgrounds site, construction began on a new athletic field to host both the Drillers and other sports activities.
[14][15] The Drillers played at this new Petrolia Park site until the end of 1927, which was the last season of professional baseball in Okmulgee.
