Serial entrepreneur Paul Freedman decided to create the Oakland Ballers, or Oakland B's, in response to the loss of the A's, aiming to prioritize fans and community.
Freedman's approach combines lessons learned from edtech startups with a vision to build a baseball team that truly represents the spirit and needs of Oakland.
While the Oakland B's can't replace the emotional attachment of a major league team, they aim to establish a fan-first culture and community engagement.
The formation of the B's reflects a shift towards local sports ownership, with Freedman and his partner keen on creating a sustainable model for baseball in Oakland.
