Oakland Ballers baseball team announces $1.6 million investment into Raimondi Park to play home games

Thu, 2024-02-15 08:48

The Oakland Ballers independent league baseball team announced Thursday a $1.6 million investment into historic Raimondi Park in West Oakland as its home field for the team's inaugural 2024 season. In a press statement, the Ballers - also known as the B's - said the plan would upgrade the park's field for professional-level baseball with seating for 2,500 spectators and transform the park and its surroundings into a premier venue for Oakland youth baseball and softball. The investment comes from private funding, the team said. Raimondi Park was originally opened in 1910 as Bayview Park and renamed in 1947 in honor of Ernie Raimondi, a McClymonds High School graduate who played for the minor league Oakland Oaks baseball club before he was killed in World War II. The park was the training grounds for baseball legends Curt Flood, Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson, each who also attended McClymonds High.
