The Oakland Ballers baseball team will have an interactive element for their Fan Appreciation Day at Raimondi Park on Saturday where fans can vote on starting lineups, in-game strategy, and other aspects of the game.
The Pioneer Baseball League team is partnering with Fan Controlled Sports and Entertainment , creators of Fan Controlled Football and Fan Controlled Racing to offer a first-of-its-kind experience for Ballers fans. During Saturday's game against the Idaho Falls Chukars, fans will be able to vote on real-time in-game decisions using the Control App on iOS and Android.
'We set out to build a team that centers fans in every way - because we believe the real value of a sports team is its fanbase. We are excited to demonstrate this to Oakland by giving fans the opportunity to directly influence both fun and serious game-play decisions,' said Ballers co-founder Bryan Carmel in a statement. 'We're so excited to explore this activation for the game of baseball,' said Pioneer League president Mike Shapiro in a statement.
