I TRIED OUT For The Oakland Ballers

Just days after the Oakland Athletics move to Sacramento was announced, the ‪@OaklandBallers‬ held their scheduled try outs.

After a grueling and emotional few days, for the Ballers to give me a chance to “try out” and just enjoy baseball again in its purest form, was much-needed medicine.

The try outs took place on a beautiful Oakland day at Laney College. 92 players tried out and 3 people actually made the team! But not me.

The Ballers season begins on May 21st, and their Home Opener at Raimondi Park will be on June 4th. The Ballers are a brand new Pioneer League team started by two friends from Oakland, Bryan Carmel and Paul Freedman, who couldn't stomach the potential loss of pro baseball in Oakland.
