About a month ago, I spoke with Oakland Ballers GM Laura Geist about her non-linear path into baseball, what the GM job actually looks like, and what it takes to build something in a city that’s lost so much of its sports identity.
There are career pivots, grinding in Indyball, sports heartbreak, and what it means to make space for more people in the game. And with so much of my summer spent around the WPBL and women’s baseball, this conversation feels especially timely.
This one’s about baseball, but really it’s about finding your way into it and finding a reason to stay.
