OAKLAND, Calif. — The new Oakland Ballers independent baseball team is hoping to incorporate a bit of Oakland sports history in its renovated ballpark as the club prepares for its opener next month. An expansion team in the independent Pioneer League, the "B's" are inquiring about purchasing some or all of the approximately 5,000 unused bleacher seats that formerly were brought in for Oakland Raiders games. The bleachers have been stored outside near a parking lot on the southeast side of the formally dual-purpose Coliseum since the Raiders' departure for Las Vegas after the 2019 season.
