Actor Blair Underwood and Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin to join Oakland Ballers ownership group

The Oakland Ballers announced social impact ambassador and award-winning actor Blair Underwood will be joining the team's ownership group. "I truly appreciate the social frabric of inclusion that the Oakland Ballers are promoting through their love of baseball," said Underwood. 

In addition, the Ballers also announced 12-time Olympic medalist Natalie Coughlin will be joining the ownership group. "As a Bay Area native who grew up cheering for the Raiders, A's, and Warriors, it's heartbreaking to see Oakland lose team after team. But the city's love for sports has never wavered, and that's why I'm so excited so support the Oakland Ballers. Oakland deserves teams that are committed to this community, and I can't wait to see the Ballers bring that passion back to The Town!," said Coughlin.

The Ballers also recently announced that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and Hip Hop Superstar & Entrepreneur Too $hort are joining the team.
