⚾️ Our 3rd annual Oakland Ballers meetup was a major success!

We had another great turnout, bringing together members of the Lefty O’Doul Bay Area SABR chapter, JapanBallers, and the Extra Innings Travel community for a night of baseball in Oakland 🙌

A highlight of the evening was heading into the dugout after the game and meeting former San Francisco Giants executive and current Ballers President Yeshayah Goldfarb.

Big thanks to SK — our Korea tour guide and a member of the Ballers staff — for helping facilitate the meetup, and to Steve Murphy of SABR for helping bring everyone together!

Already looking forward to year four! ⚾️

Good times at the San Jose Giants game last night!

Pregame tailgate and post game fireworks on Harry Potter night and of course, the best churros in the world! It was cool seeing the Giants two dynamic young super prospects, Luis Hernandez and Josuar Gonzales.
