Step up to the plate, BART x baseball fans! BART has teamed up with the Oakland Ballers for a memorable game on Wednesday, August 14, starting at 6:35pm, at Raimondi Park (1800 Wood St, Oakland). Buy your tickets here. 

It's BART Night, Bay Area!  

On this special evening, we want to celebrate the role public transportation plays in making sure fans can get out and watch their favorite teams play. BART and organizations like the Ballers are natural partners – BART helps you get there, and the Ballers give you a place to go. Take me out to the BART game!

Some of the activities planned for BART Night include: 

  • An appearance by the BARTmobile  
  • BART employees’ children serving as ball kids 
  • Special BART guests throwing out the first pitch and taking the first at-bat 
  • BART Police Honor Guard posting the colors  
  • BART Police Lieutenant Joshua Perez singing the National Anthem 
  • Lots of BART staff in the stands going wild for the Ballers! 
Two adults are conversing and smiling inside a train. One person is wearing a green shirt with "Ballers" printed on it, and the other is in a colorful top with a sports jersey design that says "Oakland". They are standing and holding onto handrails.

And let’s not forget the t-shirts. The Ballers, BART, and Oaklandish have collaborated to create two collectible “shirseys,” AKA a t-shirt mimicking the players’ jerseys. The tees, modeled above, feature the BART logo on the sleeve and the number 72 on the back, celebrating the year BART opened. Get yours on Railgoods.com. 

The Oakland Ballers are a Pioneer League baseball team that plays at the historic Raimondi Park in West Oakland. Celebrating their inaugural season in 2024, the team is a BART partner and plays in uniforms with a BART patch on the right sleeve.
