Franchise History

The Oklahoma 89ers began play at All Sports Stadium at the state fairgrounds way back in 1962 as a minor-league affiliate of the Houston Colt .45's. In the early 70's, all new players came in as a connection with the Cleveland Indians was established, then with the Philadelphia Phillies that lasted into the 80's.

In 1983, the Texas Rangers became the parent club, a relationship that would continue as the 89ers adopted all new colors and uniforms along with the nickname "RedHawks" in 1997 in the move to the Bricktown Ballpark. In 2010, the Rangers opted to sign an affiliate agreement with Round Rock, also owned by Texas head man Nolan Ryan. Several teams pushed to get the RedHawks, and in the end, Oklahoma City signed with the Houston Astros.
