OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — They will call themselves the Oakland B’s, short for Ballers.
The minor league B’s will carry on the city’s green-and-gold color scheme. Otherwise, they don’t plan to be anything like the A’s, whose heartbroken fans they hope to support through the team’s painful departure for Las Vegas.
The B’s promise to never leave town.
The expansion independent club announced plans Tuesday to begin play in the Pioneer League come May of 2024, with their first home games set for July at Laney College. The intent is to keep baseball alive in Oakland for years to come.

First the Raiders and now baseball. Which is too bad because I like the word Oakland better (Even though it is no longer an oak land.) Aren't they both moving because the city refused to build them a new stadium which is falling apart?
