On Saturday, players from all over the Bay Area attended an open tryout at Laney College for the Oakland Ballers minor league team.
OAKLAND -- Oakland A's fans are hurting from this week's announcement that the team will be moving to Sacramento after this season but an independent minor league team, the Oakland Ballers , has been created to fill the void. On Saturday, players from all over the area attended an open tryout and, for many, it was a chance to keep their diamond dreams alive.The A's may be leaving Oakland but the dream of baseball was still very much in play.
'You never know. There's been a lot of guys that have come through and made their dreams of getting to the big leagues from tryout camps like this,' Snow said. 'So, obviously, not everybody's going to get signed. There may be just a few or a couple but you can always find that diamond in the rough.'Most of the guys had been playing since they were little kids but Robert Nolin is now 35.
