Who are The Oakland Ballers?
The Oakland Ballers are dedicated to delivering a joyful, community focused experience for Oakland and the entire East Bay. They vow to never leave town. Built by Oakland, for Oakland, forever Oakland.
They invested over $1.6 million into Raimondi Park, which was once touted for contributing “more baseball stars than any park in the country.” Raimondi Park is the field where Oakland greats like Frank Robinson and Curt Flood first honed their skills, but it had fallen into disrepair.
After renovations, a field previously unplayable by little leaguers became a professional baseball stadium that brought nearly 100,000 fans to West Oakland. And most importantly, it was returned to the community.
The Ballers only play 48 home games a year, which allows for Little League Championships, High School baseball tournaments and even community movie nights to take place at our ballpark. And the rapid success they delivered at Raimondi Park proved that the City of Oakland can indeed get things done quickly with good community partners.
The Ballers believe that a new model for a more authentic partnership between fans and teams with guardrails is critical, and that Oakland, a city with a rich legacy of fighting to make the world a better place, is the perfect community to help it materialize.
