FOR OUR CITY - FOR OUR TEAM
FOREVER
ABOUT US
THE OAKLAND 68'S were officially founded in 2017 by a few loyal Right Field Bleacher Die Hards. We are LF/RF bleacher die hards," fAnily" who used to support the Oakland A's. Now we support our Roots, Soul, Oakland SC, and Ballers as much as we do our city they play in, OAKLAND! (We are an independent supporters group and the first in MLB history).
OUR MISSION is centered around preserving the fanaticism of the Oakland fan base, creating new Roots, Soul, Oakland SC, and Ballers fans while recognizing the ones already here. We want to create new ways to show our support and help our community, and most importantly, give a voice to the fans. For Our City. For Our Team. Forever.
We are a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization

Chants and Rhythms We do in the supporters section:
​
1. Always Salute our Right Fielder
​
2. "Ding" or "Bang" anything around you when our pitcher records a
strike. One strike=one Ding, and two strikes=two dings. After two strikes, see #3
​
3. Pitcher has 2 Strikes, Start slow Clap at The Belt While Speeding it up Leading to the Pitch
​
4. When opposing pitcher has a 3 ball count, we start yelling "BALL FOUR" while waving our hands back and forth. You start chanting ball four once our batter steps into the batters box.
​
5. Only chant "let's Go Oakland" when there is a runner in scoring position.
​
6. If Ballers, Roots or Soul score, we chant (While clapping) "ohhhhhh, WE LOVE YOU OAKLAND, WE DO! WE LOVE YOU OAKLAND, WE DO! WE LOVE YOU OAKLAND WE DO!! OOOOOAKLAND WE LOVE YOU! NOT YOU (enter whoever opposing team name is)."
​
7. Pay attention because we can start any chant at any given time.
​
8. "Oh when the (Roots, Soul, or B's), go marching in! Oh when the (Roots, Soul, or B's) go marching in! oh I want to be in the bleachers! Oh when the (Roots, Soul, or B's) go marching in!"

And we are open for suggestions!!​
