The Drumright Oilers were a minor league baseball team based in Drumright, Oklahoma.
After a nearby Oil discovery in 1912 led to the creation of the city, Drumright teams played as members of Class D level Western Association from 1920 to 1921. After the folding of the Western Association, Drumright became members of the Class D level Oklahoma State League in 1923. Drumright played under a different nickname each season, known as the "Drummers" in 1920, "Oilers" in 1921 and "Boosters" in 1923.
Drumright hosted home minor league games at the Western Association Park, also known as the American Legion Field, which hosted Babe Ruth in an exhibition in 1922. The ballpark site is still in use today as the high school baseball field.[1]
