A Baseball Startup with Paul Freedman and Bryan Carmel

Bryan, Adam, Steve, and the Oxide Friends are joined by the founders of the Oakland Ballers, the continuation of a long history of baseball in Oakland. There turns out to be a plenty in common between founding a computer company and founding a baseball team--and we both have our fans supporting us!
In addition to Bryan Cantrill (mastodon.social/@bcantrill) and Adam Leventhal (mastodon.social/@ahl), we were joined by very special guests Paul Freedman (twitter.com/pmfreedm) and Bryan Carmel (twitter.com/carmelimel) as well our somewhat-special boss, Steve Tuck (hachyderm.io/@sdtuck).
