Ballers Bulletin: November
The November edition of the Ballers Bulletin has arrived
Ballers Fam,
As we reach the final months of 2025 and the holiday season, we want to express how incredibly thankful we are to have you in our lives. Since the launch of the team, you’ve given us a real sense of community belonging and it manifests itself in a magical way at Raimondi Park when we come together.
From the perfectly timed Goose flyover on Opening Day, to the historic 73-win season, to the three straight wins with everything on the line in the PBL Championship, to the Championship Rally, Parade and Party at Prescott Market, we’ve shared a lot of unforgettable moments together this year.
All of that is a long way of saying that we are thankful for you, Ballers fam. Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for buying tickets and showing up. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We promise we will do everything in our power to keep delivering a championship-caliber organization to you and we’re just getting started.
New Local Players
Along those lines, identifying and signing top local talent is one key component to winning.
We want to introduce you to 3 recently signed Oakland Ballers, all from the Bay Area. Grant Manning a RHP with some serious heat from Dublin, Jeter Ybarra is a big first baseman and outfielder from San Jose, and former Ogden Raptor Damian Stone is an outfielder that hit .382 last season and hails from Fremont.
We’ve also re-signed local 2025 favorites Esai Santos (Berkeley) and Gabe Tanner (Danville).
If you’re looking to learn more about our players and 2026 roster, Assistant GM Tyler Petersen and VP of Communications and Fan Entertainment Casey Pratt are doing a weekly livestream on YouTube and X where they break it all down and answer live fan questions.
B’s Biz LIVE
If you’re more into the business of the game and how a professional baseball franchise is built from the ground up, Co-Founders Paul Freedman and Bryan Carmel are also doing a weekly livestream where they do a deep dive into different aspects of what it takes to build and run the Ballers.
Topics so far:

FREE Community Movie Nights
Town Flicks is a hit. Our free community movie night series in partnership with Cal State East Bay and Pixar Animation Studios debuted with a sold-out screening of Coco earlier this month. FREE tickets are available now for our 11/29 showing of Inside Out and we’ve bumped up the capacity to accomodate more fans.
Bring a blanket, beach chair, and your family and friends to Raimondi Park for a fun night in the outfield or ballpark seats. The movie starts at 6:30pm.
And since it’s the holiday season, we will also be hosting a Toy Drive at this event. Bring unwrapped toys to the ballpark for this free community movie night and we’ll deliver them to the OakLuv Foundation.

Calling all Ballunteers
Last week we had our first Ballunteer event of the off-season in partnership with Eat. Learn. Play.
Our next two events are also at capacity. We’re going to be joining forces with Helping Others Win to distribute food on 11/22. And we’re going to be doing meal prep with Chef Kendall’s Community Kitchens on 12/17.
Our next Ballunteer event with space available is on January 31st at the Alameda County Food Bank. You can sign up here for that event.
Our Ballunteers get 2 free Ballers tickets for their participation. Keep an eye out for more events under the Community tab of our website under the Ballunteer section.
A Ballers Gameday Like You’ve Never Experienced It Before
You may have noticed some extremely fancy cameras around the ballpark in late September. Well, those cameras were from GoogleXR and they were shooting our entire game to deliver an immersive VR experience at Raimondi Park. That video debuted on our YouTube channel and it’s a chance to see a day at Raimondi Park like you’ve never seen it before.
Note: When you click the link, make sure you either have your VR headset handy, or that you watch on your phone and set the video to maximum resolution. You’ll be able to look around and immerse yourself in Ballers baseball. And if you just want to watch on your TV or computer, it’s still very entertaining.
We’re thankful to be on this journey with you,
Your Championship Baller Family
