We just felt like we have a good thing going with the Oakland Roots, and the Soul, and Spiders - those are new teams. But we feel like there has to be pro-baseball in Oakland - Bryan Carmel, co-founder of the Oakland Ballers.
For us, this is about showing what a community can do when it works together to build something. Our theme is 'Built by Oakland' - Bryan Carmel, co-founder of the Oakland Ballers.
I'm really excited for baseball. And more so though, that the community will be able to use the park, year-round - Joshua Gunter, founder of Friends of Raimondi Park.
Four-thousand people into a residential neighborhood, for home games, is investment that we haven't seen before. So this is a very positive step for West Oakland - Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife.
