Fan's Dogs Boost Team's Wins; She Manages Ballers!

Colt Rosensweig and her two Doberman service dogs, Caris and Curtis, are set to experience a unique opportunity as they step into the role of manager for a day with the Oakland Ballers. This honor stems from the team's innovative "BallerMetrics" program, which quantifies fan impact on game outcomes.

Rosensweig leads the fan base with an exceptional "fan value," a metric that tracks a supporter's influence on wins. This program, developed by co-founder Paul Freedman, aims to demonstrate the tangible contributions fans make to the team's success. Eligible fans must attend five or more games and create a "BallerMetrics" profile.

As manager, Rosensweig will have significant decision-making power, including setting the lineup and making pitching changes, with regular skipper Aaron Miles serving as her assistant. Her fibromyalgia condition necessitates the assistance of her service dogs, Caris and Curtis, for mobility support.

The "BallerMetrics" system integrates ticketing data with player statistics, allowing fans to claim profiles and see their impact. Rosensweig's attendance has coincided with a remarkable 27-10 record for the Ballers, including a 13-game winning streak, underscoring her perceived positive influence.

Rosensweig, who has fond memories of attending baseball games with her father, finds solace and joy in the Oakland Ballers, especially after the departure of the Oakland Athletics. She views the Ballers as a source of healing and wholesome entertainment for the East Bay community.
