Tulsa was the first city in Tulsa County to require masks. So, Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum has been wanting the suburbs to enact a mandate as well. Several suburbs have recent- ly passed mask mandates, such as Jenks, Sand Springs, Glen- pool, Claremore, and Sapulpa. The City of Jenks enacted a mask requirement on November 10 and will stay in effect until January 31.

On Wednesday night in downtown Amarillo, the Drillers shattered the long-standing record, crushing nine home runs in an 18-9 win in Game 2 of the TLCS. Jeter Downs hit three of the nine which tied the Tulsa all-time record and set the all-time Tulsa playoff record. The 18 runs and 18 hits were both season-highs for the Drillers. The victory evened the best-of-five series at 1-1. Not to be overshadowed by the excessive offense in Game 2, was the fantastic work of the Drillers bullpen. After the Drillers regained the lead in the top of the second, Luis Vasquez did not allow a run over the next two innings. Michael Boyle followed with three strong innings, allowing only a solo home run. Shea Spitzbarth followed by striking out three and Nolan Long finished off the win by striking out three in the bottom of the ninth.

Burnett further amazed baseball observers when he purchased the Rebels' home ballpark in Oak Cliff for an additional S265,OOO.] Burnett promptly renamed the Rebels the "Eagles" and the ballpark "Burnett Field."

Coco Laboy This article was written by Brian Joseph (/node/4362) At times, it looked like José “Coco” Laboy would never get a shot in the majors. When he nally did, ten years after his professional career began, his rookie year made many wonder why it took so long. On his way up, no one would have ever accused Coco Laboy of having it easy. He suered a number of odd twists and turns before enjoying a ve-year big- league run lled with surprise, promise and disappointment. José Alberto Laboy was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico (the same birthplace as Orlando Cepeda) on June 4, 1940. The origin of Laboy’s nickname is mysterious. The Sporting News, during his rookie season, claimed that he got the nickname because he used to chew chocolate bars before he switched to cigars. However, Laboy himself stated, in a post- retirement interview with the Montreal Gazette, that the nickname “Coco” came from his mother -- but he never knew why.
