Bartlesville Pirates


The Bartlesville Pirates were a minor league baseball team. They played in Bartlesville, Oklahoma from 1946 to 1952. During that time, the club was a member of the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League and a class-D affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The team generally performed well, with their only losing seasons coming in their first and last seasons of existence. They did not have similar success in the league playoffs, losing in the first round four times, and in the league finals once.
Despite playing in Class D, the lowest level of minor league baseball, a few of the Pirates' players reached the major leagues either before or after playing in Bartlesville, including Hersh Martin, Brandy Davis, and Ron Kline.
On July 7, 1952, the team relocated to Pittsburg, Kansas to finish the season. After that 1952 season, the team and the league folded., they are the most recent professional baseball team to play in Bartlesville.
