Let’s go Ballers! 👏🏻,👏🏻,👏🏻-👏🏻-👏🏻

These games feel like small town events in ways people in neither place would believe. Everyone’s having fun and happy to be there, more than at big, super corporate happenings. Local companies dominate the ads. Downtime entertainment has footraces for kids and grownups competing to make funny voices. There are taco trucks.

And I can’t get enough of it.

A baseball diamond taking from behind home plate, looking down the 3rd base line. The batter is set. The pitcher is winding up. It’s night time and the stadium lights are on. The glow of Oakland, California’s skyline is low in the background.
