PGCBL welcomes Olean Oilers as 16th member for Summer 2026
The Oilers will join the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League as its 16th member beginning in the Summer 2026 season, keeping Bradner Stadium at the heart of Olean’s summer baseball scene [1][2]. The jump comes after more than a decade in the NYCBL, a run highlighted by back‑to‑back league titles in 2015 and 2016 and a 22‑16‑3 campaign capped by a West Division postseason berth last summer [2][5].The badge‑of‑honor history runs deeper: Olean’s earlier minor‑league Oilers captured championships in 1939, 1940, 1950 and 1961, with past big‑league ties to the Dodgers, Browns and Phillies—heritage the modern summer club carries forward at Bradner [1]. The organization operates locally as a nonprofit amateur‑sports outfit based in Olean, reinforcing the program’s community roots [3].With a proven track record in the NYCBL and a storied name, the Oilers arrive in the PGCBL ready to measure up against a new slate of regional rivals [1][2].
