It also finished with the second highest winning percentage in history (.869), just a hair behind the 1985 squad which went 86-12 (.878). The team defended its title in the Tony Andenucio Tournament in Pueblo, CO -- it's third championship there in 27 years -- with a perfect 7-0 mark, including a 13-4 victory over Merced, CA in the finals. The 2007 squad also became the first team in the program's history to win both the Pueblo Tournament and its own tournament (the Route 66 Classic) in the same year. The Travelers nipped Durant 7-6 in an epic 11-inning championship game to win the Route 66 for the fourth time in six years. Other highlights from the season were championship wins at the Midwest City Memorial Day Tournament, the Traveler Shootout and the OSU Showcase. The 2007 team nearly broke another long-standing record by winning 28 consecutive games, one shy of the record that was set by the 1985 squad. Danville, CA snapped the streak, 14-4, in the semifinals of the Sierra Nevada tournament in Reno. Individally, several Travelers stood out this season, but none more prominently than first baseman Dean Green of Berryhill, OK. The team's 3-hole hitter and future OSU star had what could be argued as the greatest offensive season in team history. He broke the all-time batting average record (by one point) at .520, and threatened several other records in the process. He finished three homers shy of the record with 22 homeruns on the season and became just the seventh player in 44 years (and first in a decade) to eclipse the 100-RBI barrier with 101 on the season, and just the fourth player in history with more than 30 doubles (31). He also logged 103 hits, 75 runs scored, didn't make a single error on the season and became the first player in team history to slug north of one-thousand (1.030).

Season 2006 was the 43rd year of the Traveler program and proved to be another impressive chapter. For just the second time in history (and first in 15 years) the team won the Tony Andenucio tournament in Pueblo, CO. It was one of many high notes of '06. We take a look back at the tournaments, the accomplishments and the players of 2006 in our Season Wrap. We'd like to thank the players, parents and supporters that helped make the season a huge success and look forward to seeing everyone in the season ahead.
