In spite of good planning by the city in previous years, them just are not enough <br />lighted fields for the children of the community to play on. As he notes, we sometimes have to play on asphalt for practices, l <br />would appreciate your consideration of the Bernal fields under discussion. <br /> <br />It seems that there was a commitment made that is now being vacated, is that the case? <br /> <br />-Stephen <br /> <br />.....

Although I'm <br />officially teaching these kids baseball, what I'm really teaching them is life-lessons about character, teamwork, respect, <br />discipline, hard work, fun, and of course, baseball. These values are core to those shared by the City of Pleasanton. <br /> <br />Throughout my coaching tenure, field availability has been an on-going problem. Given the lack of available dirt infields, I <br />am relegated to practicing on the asphalt playground at Pleasanton Middle School. This poses a significant safety risk <br />because kids get injured if they fall, basketball poles dot the field of play, and sliding is obviously out of the question. <br /> <br />I urge you to support "America's sport" and Pleasanton's youth by constructing lighted baseball fields on the Bernal property. <br />We despirately need fields where our kids can play baseball and, more importantly, learn life's lessons. <br /> <br />Please take this opportunity to make Pleasanton an even greater community than it currently is. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. Play ball! <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Korky Creek <br />Devil Rays Manager, Pony Mustang Baseball <br /> <br />4/11/2005 <br /> <br /> <br />
