The Connellsville Cokers played a single season in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, in 1912, in the last year of the Ohio-Pennsylvania League. The name came from the industry that defined the town. The Connellsville coke region ran the beehive ovens that fed the Pittsburgh steel mills, and at its height it was the largest coke-producing district in the country.
The Cokers did not finish the year. They disbanded on June 18, 1912, the same day the New Castle club folded. That season was a rout for the league as a whole. Salem moved to Fairmont in July, Alliance-Sebring disbanded on July 15 after a player strike, McKeesport shut down on July 17, Sharon moved to Bridgeport in August, and East Liverpool relocated twice in four days. When the league placed a franchise in Pittsburgh on August 13, it lost its National Association membership, and it did not return for 1913. The championship was awarded to Fairmont when Steubenville-Follansbee could not field a team for the playoffs.
The Ohio-Pennsylvania League was a Class C circuit founded in Akron in 1905 by veteran ballplayer Charlie Morton, fielding teams across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Connellsville joined for its final season.
