And they tied the other 2-2

Those Giants fans who also root for the #Oakland #Ballers should be less disconsolate (now that the Giants are 3.5 games back in the NL wildcard playoff race with only 5 games left in the season) today after learning that the Ballers are the #PioneerLeague CHAMPIONS for 2025!!! 👏👏👏

I've watched a couple of Ballers games on TV & checked out the location of their field but have not yet been to 1 of there games but may do so next season.

Go Ballers!!!🎉🎉🎉

Two reasons for this. First, for my fellow Oaktown baseball fans, an inspiring story about some relics from the A’s era, and how the Ballers are trying to save them.

2nd, if you’re not already aware, there’s a brand-new Bay Area journalism collective bringing local news to the masses. Check them out, subscribe to their newsletter, and if you can, support them with $.

Visited the #WestOakland #FarmersMarket & the #PrescottMarket food court today near #RaimondiPark where the semi-pro baseball team, the #Ballers play near 18th & Peralta.

The Framers Market, which is held on Sundays, is pretty small but I bought 2# of fresh #apricots (my favorite fruit next to LARGE #MandarinOranges).

The food court at the Prescott Market adjoining 18th St where the Farmer's Market is held is small too but I was able to find a vendor selling a decent IPA & another that offered a reasonably priced BLT & I was happy.

Walked over to check out the Ballers' park, which is a far cry from what was there before, but I was more interested in getting back home to see the end of the #SFGiants vs #Nationals game than watch a semi-pro ball game there.

Anyway, if you haven't checked out this part of Oakland recently, this is an interesting Sunday morning destination.
