MC Hammer was born in Oakland, California. In Hammer's early teens, Charlie O. Finley, owner of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, noticed the boy performing outside of the stadium. Finley named the boy his "executive vice president," and he served in that capacity until 1980. In reality, his job was to report to Finley on what was happening with the team, since Finley did not live in Oakland. A's players named him "Little Hammer" because of his resemblance to slugger "Hammerin'" Hank Aaron.
