Oakland didn't just steal the Athletics from Philadelphia. Now they've taken Philly's Guinness World Record for longest 'Soul Train'-style dance and made it their own as well.
According to Inside Bay Area, 337 people came to DeFremery Park in Oakland on Saturday morning to participate in the record-breaking event, created by the Friends of DeFremery Center, which designs activities at the park for low-income citizens.
The dance required all participants to remain dancing nonstop while individual dancers made their way through the dance line one by one. The entire event took about four hours.
Every dancer got a T-shirt, and there was a fundraiser to help kids go to summer camp as well, so the event was also for a good cause.
Philadelphia set the record with a 298-person long Soul Train in 2012, and the record stood until this past weekend.
Guinness' website says Arizona holds the record, but officials said that event was not certified and Oakland holds the official record.
