Following the MLB's approval of the Oakland A's relocation to Las Vegas, Oakland is not giving up on baseball. A group of East Bay fans, investors, elected officials, and influential residents have formed the Oakland Ballers, an expansion team set to play in the Pioneer Baseball League in 2024. The team, also known as the Oakland B's, will don the A's traditional green and gold colors, symbolizing the city's enduring love for the sport.
