TULSA, Oklahoma -
Many of the more than 200 Minor League baseball teams across the country - including the Tulsa Drillers - were hit hard when the season was shut down last year due to the pandemic.
General Manager Mike Melega said the Drillers lost millions of dollars in revenue due to lost ticket sales and concessions and it will take several years to recoup those losses. We are ahead of plan this year, it’s been a great bounce back season for us, there is no question, but we are still four years out to make up for last season, where we have to be successful every year, said Melega.

TULSA, Okla â An entire community is teaming up to revitalize Tulsa s very own Lacy Park Ballpark.
Robert Pearson remembers growing up in the 1950 s playing at Lacy Park Ballfield in North Tulsa.
At the time the ballpark was known as Lincoln Park and it was home to Tulsa s all black semi-pro team, The Tulsa T-Tow Clowns.
Now a sandlot baseball club, the Tulsa Drillers, and other community members are working together to make a much-needed make-over happen.
The organizers behind the project are passionate about baseball, and they tell 2 News they re very excited about the renovations.
