I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book! It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports city, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s history, identity and soul.
I aim to get it all: what happened, how it happened, and why it matters not just to A’s, Raiders, Warriors, Roots and Ballers fans, but sports fans (and taxpayers) everywhere.
I’ve been working on this for a long time already, in some ways my whole life, and though there’s still a long way to go, I’m so excited for you all to read it. Let’s Go, Oakland. I hope it does you justice ⚾️

I’ve written A LOT over the last few years about the loss of major league baseball in Oakland and about how brutal it’s been on the city and fans. A year ago, however, two guys I didn’t know, @paulmfreedman and @bryancarmel.1, reached out to me with a different kind of story: they wanted to build Oakland a pro baseball team of its own. They didn’t have any experience in sports. But they were heartbroken former A’s fans themselves, and they were totally committed. They asked me if I wanted to tag along for the journey. I could write about it, if there ended up being something there.
In June, the Oakland Ballers debuted before a sold-out crowd in a privately funded ballpark in West Oakland. Today, they’re competing for a Pioneer League playoff spot. Ballers merch is everywhere. Like the Roots before them, they’re legitimizing a new model for what pro sports teams can and perhaps should do and be about in America. They’re also, I think, evincing what exactly about pro sports ultimately matters to fans. At the end of the day, it’s less about prestige and scale than about representation and presence.
I loved writing this story. It also almost broke me. It’s a long read, encompassing more than a year of reporting, but I’m excited to finally be sharing it with the world. I’m grateful to anyone who spends some time with it, and to Bryan and Paul for letting me tell it. Hope it’s good. If you live in the Bay Area, make sure to go check out a game. Their next home stand starts tonight. Go Ballers.

The Tralfamadorians—the wise, 4-dimensional aliens who abduct and educate Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-5–believe time not to be linear, but cumulative. The years don’t pass; they pile up, like film reels or books, and you can revisit each whenever you like. Tralfamadorians don’t mourn getting old. Every year, life gets at least a little more interesting. If you’re lucky, it gets lovelier, too.
This year, the Moore’s were lucky. Ollie, who is happy and healthy and blessed with a head of beachy curly blonde hair, said his first words, took his first steps, and discovered a passionate love for remote controls, “ball,” and garbage trucks. (He still isn’t crazy about getting his picture taken.) Rio, our first born, finally got control of his weight and his temper and he and Ollie have even made a lasting peace. Mom and Dad spent probably too much time working—digital ads don’t sell themselves—but also drank lots of champagne with family and friends and the hangovers, unforgiving though they now are, were always worth it. We saw Weezer in October—an obvious highlight—but our little island in the sun was full of awesomeness all year long.
Lucky years are not guaranteed, and we’re grateful for our good fortune and for the good health of our loved ones who do the most to make the passing moments worth revisiting. We love you all! Happy holidays 🎄💌
