"Ballers fans, neighbors and family members are coming together at Raimondi Park for the baseball team's Town Flicks series, in which Pixar films are shown on the video board and folks can take in the movie from the outfield grass. The first showing of Coco ran earlier this month, when the Ballers gave away 1,000 free tickets. Saturday, the Ballers will double the capacity with 2,000 free tickets as folks gather in the outfield to watch Inside Out, Pixar's hit animated film featuring Amy Poehler."
"The ballpark hosted more than 110,000 fans during the Ballers' summer season, in which the team won the Pioneer League championship in September, then celebrated with a parade in October. To keep the community together in the offseason, the team partnered with Pixar, whose animation studio is just more than a mile away on Park Avenue in Emeryville, and Cal State East Bay to bring fans a series of free films screened at the ballpark."
