There are more people at tonight’s Oakland B’s game than at the average A’s games this year.
John Fisher can bite me.

We’re getting ready to see the first ever home game of the Oakland Ballers. Go B’s!

If you look closely, the opening in the bottom half of the B is shaped like the home plate of a baseball diamond.](https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/763/2024/bde3e178f2.jpg)
While I dropped a friend off and helped him unload his stuff, I told him about the Oakland Ballers cap I was wearing and how I’m glad we have a new local baseball team. Not 10 seconds after we’d finished talking about it, a woman on the sidewalk yelled “Go Ballers!” to me, and that started a new conversation with her about opening day, season tickets, the new ballpark renovations, and all that.
I think I’ve convinced my buddy that he should get tickets, too. 100% of the time he’s heard of the Ballers, they were so popular that complete strangers entered the chat.
