Jazz icon Louis Armstrong once said “Music is life itself.” Tulsa Sounds: Contributions to American Music is a celebration of both.
Tulsa Baseball History: 2024 Edition
Available soon from Amazon, Apple Books and Barnes and Noble.
Tulsa’s longest relationship with any professional sport has been with baseball. And that love affair of nearly 120 years has endured its share of peaks and valleys, of passionate embraces and periods of frustration along with deep despair and joyous celebrations.
Ten major league teams, from powerhouses such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals to the woeful St. Louis Browns, have placed developmental teams in Tulsa with varying degrees of success.
This book tells the stories of not only the men who wore the uniforms of Tulsa’s professional baseball teams but also of events along with opposing players and other people who left their mark on the city and the sport, for better or for worse.
“Tulsa Baseball History: 4/5 stars, very good…The city of Tulsa, Oklahoma has a long and colorful history of minor league baseball. From the first team in 1905 to its current affiliation with the Los Angeles Dodgers, just about anything a reader would want to know about Tulsa baseball is found in this comprehensive baseball history book by Elven Lindblad.”

What they’re saying about the Books About Tulsa series…
“Elven has chronicled both the sports history of our town, professional and college, with the growing pains and moans of a place where rigs blew oil sky-high, and opportunists flocked to the banks of the Arkansas River on the plains just west of the Ozarks…You’ll find it fun and informative, and for those who’ve been here a while, full of special memories.”
Bob Carpenter, TV play-by-play announcer for MLB Washington Nationals
