Lafayette Drillers
November 15, 2018
The Lafayette Drillers were a Class AA farm club of the San Francisco Giants in southwestern Louisiana in 1975 and 1976. The Drillers were named co-champions of the Texas League in 1975 after rain washed away the deciding game of the league championship series.. The Texas Rangers purchased the struggling franchise in late 1976 and moved it to Tulsa, Oklahoma where the ball club plays on today, nearly a half century later, as the Tulsa Drillers.
