==Pop culture== As a minor league affiliate of the Oakland A's at the time, the Visalia Oaks were prominently mentioned in the Michael Lewis Book 'Moneyball', and also featured a few times during the [[2011 in film|2011]] movie ''[[Moneyball (film)|Moneyball]]'' (which took place in 2002). In one scene, Billy Beane is driving to see the Visalia Oaks during the A's winning streak, and another shows Billy watching video of Visalia Oaks catcher [[Jeremy Brown]] tripping and then diving back to first on a ball that turned out to be a home run. In the [[1988 in film|1988]] film ''[[Bull Durham]]'', Visalia was mentioned as a potential managing job for aging catcher Crash Davis, played by [[Kevin Costner]]. In the [[1994 in film|1994 film]] ''[[Little Big League]]'', a Visalia Oaks pennant can be seen hanging on the wall in the main character’s bedroom.
