I Watched Oakland's New Pro Baseball Team | The Ballers

Professional baseball is back in Oakland, California. Sort of. This is what it's like to go to an Oakland Ballers game!

    So much to say here, I lived in Oakland for years just above Lake Merritt. Moved to Chicago in 2015 and then NYC in 2019 with a brief stint in Philadelphia. Glad to see some signs of love for Oakland and Emeryville. On another note, I learned the Oakland Oaks (minor league baseball team) had their stadium where the Pixar campus is located today, and the Oaks Card Club nearby (kitty corner) was (one of) the setting(s) where legendary Yankees manager (and former Oaks player) Billy Martin would get into fights with strangers, making national news. There’s also a former steam powered car factory turned into apartments just north of 40th too. Those kind of little stories can sadly be forgotten as people die, and it led to me to an idea for successfully patenting a new type of search engine for spatial environments. Those two stories of Oakland took my life in a completely different direction. You’re making me miss Oakland now!

    My mother and her friends started a Billy Martin fan club that got mentioned in the Oakland Tribune. Her dad got the autographs of most, if not all, of the 1948 Oaks' PCL Championship team on a ball, including Billy Martin and HOFs Ernie Lombardi and Casey Stengel, and has found its way to me. A cool thing that used to happen during Seals-Oaks doubleheaders, was they would play a true split doubleheader, with a home game for each team, taking the ferry to cross the bay.

    I've been to two Ballers' games and have had a great time (and walking to a ball game is a joy.) Mayor Mike was away at a Philadelphia game last night, but the staffer who was selling dogs was up to the task of dogs and keeping the fans engaged. Scrappy is great with the crowd and seems to be having fun. I could do without the fireworks and reckless driving, but West Oakland is home and I'll stand up to the grumpy cryptobros from the City who trash talk us. I'm glad they aren't being draconian about the bag policy. Folks who have disabilities and need to bring supplies with them don't need the world seeing what's in their bags.

    At 1:29 you point out that the Great Falls Voyagers are in last place. To be a bit more precise, they are tied for last place with (our) Grand Junction (oddly named) Jackalopes. Another cool thing about the Jackalopes (besides the odd name and being in last place): general admission is always $9, but if you're an over 55 old fart like me you get $3 off, so just $6. They're at home this week, I may go to a game even though the temps are flirting with triple digits.

    @@AdamDoesNotExist Hey, I didn't notice that till you mentioned it! Very cool. Looks like Sidecar has good and, no doubt, very low calorie burgers (yea, right). That's what makes the name of the local (Grand Junction, Colorado) team so odd and, frankly, inappropriate: the jackalope isn't a creature of Colorado (real or myth? I'm not touching that third rail!), and it has never had anything to do with Grand Junction. The jackalope is found....if it's found at all....in Wyoming! I have no idea where the team name came from or who thought it was a good idea. Prior to last year the local minor league team was the Grand Junction Rockies, an affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. The team moved to Grand Junction from Casper, Wyoming, where they were known as the Casper Ghosts. Get it? That's a great name. The ghost on the team cap was even glow-in-the-dark. Now that's cool and fun. The Yolo High Wheelers come here next month. I'm looking forward to that, if only 'cause I really like their logo.

    The Yolo High Wheelers play at UC Davis, and it's the complete opposite, its mostly empty every game and the heatwave has not made it better either. The valley has been a straight hell, especially to go watch them play during the day. They have been having issues with the lighting that prevents them from having nightgames to avoid the heat.

    I have lived in Vegas and the summers are too hot for anything but sleeping. The Las Vegas Aviators have a very nice stadium, but after May, forget it. If Las Vegas brings the A's here and puts them up, I would be highly shocked if they don't build a dome. I only want them to move here so I can watch my Yankees play a few games a year.

    Never underestimate a city getting behind a baseball replacement when their major or minor league affiliate leaves town. Portland had the Beavers leave 13 years ago and the Pickles have truly made up for it for those of us that don't want to go all the way to Hillsboro.

    I’m born and raised in Oakland. I’m not committed to the Ballers (for now, maybe in the future?), it just seems like a downgrade to MLB like a local adult league at a local park. A lot of people I know who grew up here in Oakland aren’t on board with the Ballers. The Baller’s are not appetizing. I love Baseball it’s my favorite sport but I may just be done with Baseball if the A’s really do leave. Not sure how I feel yet but I have no desire currently to go to a Ballers game

  • @AdamDoesNotExist

    It's a different thing. The A's made it clear that they're just a business, and only in it for themselves. The Ballers need to find a way to make this a sustainable business, and they're doing that through building something for the community. It's really cool.

    Great video. This all seems good and well (I especially appreciate the bike ride there and the energy seems great), but: A. The clear bag policy seems super intrusive to me. If you're afraid of terror attacks or whatever, just get a guard who has to stuff his hand into everyone's bag, but don't tell the crowd which bags to bring (especially considering their purported environmental concerns, as you mentioned). B. I admittedly haven't been to a ballgame in a while, but is 20$ for a hot dog, peanuts and a coke really reasonable?

    I can't help but feel Bob Melvin, the former long term manager of the A's being the Giants new manager is just a MLB ploy to be like "look who we got in San Francisco, keep giving us even more of your money as we take away the team you followed for years if not decades. Rubes." he is a good manager though.
