a team in Kilgore for the upcoming season. Fans were invited to make suggestions to the front office of the new club in the "Name Your Team" contest. In early April 2008, general manager Mike Lieberman announced the new team would be called the East Texas Pump Jacks, complete with dual logos representing East Texas' history in the oil industry. One logo is a donkey representing the pumping unit or horsehead pump, the over ground for a reciprocating piston installed in a borehole. It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface. The other logo is a dinosaur, representing the fossil fuels used in oil drilling. In their first season at Driller Park, the Pump Jacks finished third with a 22-26 record before being beaten by the Coppell Copperheads in the first round.
