Hip-hop legend Warren G is stepping into the sports world as a co-owner of a newly established minor league baseball team based in his hometown of Long Beach, California. The team, set to compete in the Pioneer Baseball League, is gearing up for its inaugural season in 2026, and Warren G has ambitious plans that include naming the team the “Regulators!!!”
In an exclusive interview with TMZ Hip Hop, Warren expressed his excitement about this new venture, highlighting the significance of the name as a tribute to his classic 1994 hit “Regulate,” which he recorded with the late Nate Dogg. The name choice reflects Warren’s desire to honor his roots while bringing a piece of hip-hop culture to the baseball field.
Warren G is not only looking forward to the team’s debut but is also plotting for future championships. He mentioned plans to recruit Tony Gwynn Jr., a former MLB player and fellow Long Beach native, to join the coaching staff, further solidifying the local connection.
The Long Beach Baseball Club aims to engage the community by attracting local music stars, including Snoop Dogg, to support the team at their games, played at Long Beach State’s Dirtbags turf. Warren G hopes to inspire the youth of Long Beach to embrace baseball and shift the perception of the sport in urban communities, especially after hearing Deion Sanders’ comments about the challenges of attracting Black youth to baseball.
With his passion for both music and sports, Warren G is set to make a significant impact in the world of minor league baseball while fostering a sense of community pride in Long Beach.
