On July 4, USA Baseball celebrated, in part, by announcing the 26-man roster for their upcoming collegiate national team against Japan. The roster is comprised by many of the best players in the NCAA this season, including several likely first-rounders next July in Philadelphia.
Back in 1995, rapper Skee-Lo wished for many things in life. Right there near the top, he wanted to be a baller, just behind being taller. For local baseball players, you can live out his dreams and potentially join the roster of the Oakland Ballers.
Oakland may be losing the A’s, but soon, they’ll be getting the B’s. The Oakland Ballers will be a new minor league baseball team rooted in Oakland. And unlike the Athletics, who are officially moving to Las Vegas, the Ballers plan to stay in Oakland permanently.
