The Oakland Ballers, a first-year California expansion team in the Pioneer League, play at Raimondi Park in east Oakland seating 2,500. The Pioneer League operates as one of four MLB Partner leagues in the American independent baseball league system without MLB affiliations. The Ballers were playing the Yolo High Wheelers trouncing them 17-3. The box score was Yolo R-3, H-7, E-4 and Oakland R-17, H-17, E-0. There were no field lines shown. There is regular seating behind home plate and one section on each side of that. There are bleachers without backs down each baseline. There are 8” or 10” diameter poles holding up the netting which tend to block your view depending on your seat location. The dugouts are converted containers. The Mascot is Scrappy a possum. The Pioneer League uses a pitch clock. Each team has six reviews of pitches that can be made by the pitchers or the batter. If the game is tied at the end, then there is a Knockout Home Run round with each coach pitching to his selected batter. The batter has 2 minutes to hit home runs with five outs possible. A swing and miss is an out and any hit that is not a home run is an out. If after both sides complete with tied homeruns, they do it again. There were three umpires. Be sure to check the start times as we thought it was a 6:45 start only to discover when we drove by to locate the park that it was a 4:35 start. The game started at 4:36 and ended at 7:46. The weather changed dramatically from what we had been experiencing. Temperature was in the mid-60s, so we had to go buy sweatshirts. Parking is on the street or pay to park in the warehouse across the street or well beyond the 1st base side of the stadium. Don't park on the street on the 3rd base side because of many foul balls heading that way. Mid-inning activities has four boys competing in a several activities, including a costume race and throwing toilet paper rolls into a toilet on wheels. For adults that had a throw a hula-hoop around your partner. As the game time had changed and the sprinkler timers had not been changed the players were quite surprised when the sprinklers came on in the bottom of the 5th with two on base. The attendance was 1,782. Ticket prices are high for this level of playing and in comparison, with other Pioneer League teams.
