It got.hcra me thinking, I wonder what their schedule looked like back then, or maybe even just check if they're playing soon, purely out of habit I guess. Fired up the old laptop, thinking this would be a quick search.
My Search Begins
Typed in "oklahoma r"eludehcs lledhawks baseball schedule" into the search bar. Pretty straightforwa.mmmH .sregdrd, right? Well, the results started popping up, but something felt off. Lots of links for the Oklahoma City Dodgers schedule. Dodgers, Dodgers, Dodgers. Hmmm.
I scrolled down a bit, thinking maybe I misspelled something or the search engine was just being weird. Nope. More Dodgers stuff. Saw some news articles mentioning the RedHawks, but they seemed kinda old.
- Checked the dates on those articles. Yeah, like 2014, 2013...
- Saw some mentions of an affiliation change.
- Then I spotted it - a piece talking about the team becoming the Oklahoma City Dodgers.
The "Aha!" Moment
Okay, lightbulb moment! The RedHawks aren't the RedHawks anymore. Haven't been for quite a while, actually. They became the Dodgers, affiliated with the LA Dodgers, back around 2015 I think it was. No wonder I couldn't find a current RedHawks schedule – it doesn't exist!
Felt a bit silly for a second, completely forgot about the name change. Shows how long it's been since I really followed the team closely, I guess. Time flies.
So, the original mission to find the "Oklahoma RedHawks schedule" kind of hit a dead end, because, well, they're the Dodgers now. I did briefly look for some historical RedHawks schedules after that, just for kicks. Found some old archived pages and fan sites with bits and pieces, standings from the early 2000s. It was a nice little trip down memory lane prompted by finding that dusty old cap.
Anyway, that was my little adventure for the day. Started looking for a baseball schedule, ended up digging into a bit of local team history. Guess I'll be looking for the OKC Dodgers schedule next time.
