To: City of San Luis Obispo Council Members RECEIVED
Re: Appointment for Planning Commissioner Position DEC 01 20H
SLO CITY CLERK
Dear Distinguished Council Members:
My name is Amanda Brodie and I have applied for one of the appointed positions of
Planning Commissioner for the City. I understand that I am in a unique position along
side of another candidate for the position. I felt it best if you learned more about me in
order to help you make your final decision. Attached pleased find the highlights of my
planning career for your review.
I moved to San Luis Obispo in 1985 to attend Cal Poly for the Natural Resources
Management program. I've lived and worked in the City of San Luis Obispo for most of
that time. As a single,business professional, I've grown to love San Luis Obispo for its
friendly atmosphere, natural and scenic beauty, and the opportunity to work in a field that
I enjoyed. My goals for living in San Luis Obispo seem to reflect the goals of the City:
to help ensure that San Luis Obispo continues to be a healthy, safe, attractive, and
enjoyable place to live, work, or visit.
Although my profession has changed in more recent years,my desire to see San Luis
Obispo remain a wonderful place to live,work, and visit has not. I believe that my
previous 10+ years of work experience as a local and regional planner for the County of
San Luis Obispo and as an environmental planning consultant for the private sector
combined,have afforded me the opportunity to assist governmental bodies including
Planning Commissions, Board of Supervisors, City Councils, Subdivision Review Boards
in making planning and development decisions. My background includes performing
land use and water resources planning research and analysis,project coordination and
management, infrastructure development planning, public services and policy
impact/consistency assessment.
I believe that I would be an asset to the existing Planning Commission in assisting them
with making decisions for our community as it relates to the goals of the community
(General Plan and Zoning),by ensuring the orderly development of the City of San Luis
Obispo, and ensuring projects and plans for the development of our community are
executed in a consistent and fiscally responsible manner within the structure of those
goals.
I look forward to utilizing my skills as your next Planning Commissioner for the City of
San Luis Obispo. y„ni4i

Dear Mayor and City Council, RECEIVED
As you know, I have applied for appointment to the Planning Commission.
DEC 0 5 2096
A number of people urged me to apply, because they share my concern SLO CITY CLERK
about the recent and ongoing turnover in the Planning Commission. They
felt that my prior Planning Commission and City Council experience would
provide historical depth and expertise to the Commission, which are very
much needed at this time. I am applying because I care deeply about San
Luis Obispo and would enjoy serving the City on the Planning Commission
Also, since I am well versed in the General Plan, Land Use Planning Law RED FILE
and CEQA, I would be able to get up to speed in the issues very
quickly. I have run my own business for fourteen years. My legal MEETING AGENDA
practice includes advising small businesses, administrative law and DAT la f °I°ITEM # / �
handling real property transactions and mediations. During ny 20 years
in the City, I have volunteered for various community, environmental and
open space organizations. I am a member of Rotary, the Chamber and the
County Bar Associaton. Along with many residents, I share the General
Plan's vision of a sustainable city with a vibrant economy, surrounded
by a greenbelt and would welcome the opportunity to help implement the
General Plan.

"Where Baseball is Still a Game"
SLO Blues Baseball showcases the best baseball you'll see between San Francisco& LA. The Blues have had over 50
players from the past decade move on to professional baseball including 4 players make"The Show". The California Col-
legiate League,which includes the Santa Barbara Foresters,the 2006 National Champions, is the highest form of baseball
before it becomes a business. SLO's unique"Norman Rockwell" atmosphere is one of California's most respected sum-
mer teams&traditions. Seeing a Blues game,or 1 should say'Catching a Blues'game°...eating some Tri-Tip and having a
cold beer(we have wine &sodas too)is as fun as anything you'll put on your family's schedule during the summer. Our
farrs wait for their boys of summer all year. The 2006 team,that included 9 drafted players and 2 AD-Americans did more
than make the NBC World Series for the 5th time in 6 years. Blues players and staff work camps for kids and do all kinds
of great things for the community each and every summer. If you haven't been a part of Blues baseball you're missin'out.

Joint Use Commission and Priority for Use of Sinsheimer Stadium
The following histories, notes and facts are set forth to the San Luis Obispo City Joint
Use Commission outlining rationale why the San Luis Obispo Joint Use Commission
should grant and preserve the right of the San Luis Obispo's Blues Baseball team to
maintain a priority for use of the SLO stadium and to formally request a motion by the
Joint Use Commission to re-classify the San Luis Obispo Blues from `Other' to `College
Level Play' and to request a motion for the long term stadium contract pledged by the
Joint Use Commission in the fall of 2006 following one good year of tenancy.
San Luis Obispo Blues Brief History
(Articles and Interviews by Dan Krieger and Glenn Starkey)
"War in Europe and the bombing of Pearl Harbor eventually took many of San Luis
Obispo's young men into the armed forces", as a result, baseball in San Luis Obispo was
indefinitely off.
In the spring of 1944, Butch Simas, a Santa Maria resident(Simas Sporting Goods today)
calls Sandy Leguina for a Sunday pick up game, both men come up with enough players
to field a game,thus the start of the oldest team in California is born, the Santa Maria
Indians.
The Indians first team to hit the field is comprised of half Santa Maria players and.half
San Luis Obispo players.
For two years Sandy Leguina plays for the Santa Maria Indians team.
In 1946"ball was lacking in San Luis Obispo"until the San Luis Obispo City Council
took-Sandy Leguina aside and questioned, " Why don't we have our own team?"to
which Mr. Leguina replied, "You'll have it. I'll start it". (Sandy Leguina, 1994. New
Times, Glenn Starkey, Exhibit 3)
By City Council behest, "Sandy volunteered to give San Luis Obispo its baseball team".
*In 1946 the San Luis Obispo Blues are bom.(Tribune, Feb.20, 1988)(see: Exhibit 1)
Note: "He gathered the top baseball talent together and formed the San Luis Obispo
Blues, a team that was to establish itself as one of the best semi-pro clubs of the country
in games at Mission field" (Official Babe Ruth Souvenir Program, 1972,See: Exhibit 2)
and, " in 1946 it would be the returning vets of WWII to be the ones to provide it"

San Luis Obispo Blues and the Start of Youth Baseball in San Luis Obispo
1955 Major League All-star Program Excerpt: (Tribune,Exhibit 4,Para. 17)
"The Little League Association of San Luis Obispo was founded in 1953 through the
efforts of Blues founders Sandy Leguina and Joe Navoni.
1972 Official Babe Ruth Souvenir Program Excerpts:(Exhibit 2, Para. 3-6)
a. San Luis Obispo Blues Baseball organizes Little League Baseball and Babe Ruth
Baseball in San Luis Obispo. "In order to see that his team(San Luis Obispo Blues)had
players coming up, Leguina decided to organize Little League Baseball in San Luis
Obispo.""He and one of his star outfielders, Joe Navoni lined up the Exchange, Kiwanis,
Lions, Elks,Moose and 100f as sponsors and Little League in San Luis Obispo became
reality." (Exhibit 2)
C. "Only trouble with Little League is that the players"graduate"when they are 12 years
of age. That left a few years before they would be able to play for Leguina and the
Blues." (Exhibit 2)
d. "As a result,the Babe Ruth League(players 13,14 and 15 years old)was organized
here in 1954 to fill that"follow-up activity for the Little Leaguers." (Exhibit 2)
Note: Thanks to Blues Baseball and Sandy Leguina the San Luis Obispo 13-15 year.old
Babe Ruth Baseball league was established in 1954 and is currently one of the oldest
Babe Ruth leagues in the Babe Ruth program nation-wide. (Exhibit 5)
The Golden Years
Currently, Tim Golden and partner Joe Vergara own the SLO Blues. Over the last 12
years Mr. Golden has not only revitalized the founding fathers original dream for the San
Luis Obispo Blues, but has also restored the local spirit of the team into something very
special i.e. national recognition for the City of San Luis Obispo as extraordinarily fertile
ground for collegiate baseball. Goldens' Blues have also made it to the National Baseball
Congress(NBC) in Wichita,Kansas five out of the last six years.
Over the last 12 years of Mr. Golden's grit and determination,the San Luis Obispo Blues
have built a loyal fan base of not just local San Luis Obispo baseball fans(which
stretches from as far north as San Miguel to as far south as Nipomo), but he has also built
a larger fan base of faithful baseball fans over the entire central coast of California.
Mr. Golden's vision of a higher level of baseball on the central coast has gone from
aspiration to reality. His hard work and love for the game and its players is manifest in
his founding of the `California Collegiate League', a collegiate league of 8 teams with the
recent inclusion of 60 year local rivals, the Santa Maria Indians.
Mr. Golden CCL has experienced early success at the National Baseball Congress
(NBC)tournament with a CCL World Series win by the Santa Barbara Forrester's, a
member of Golden's California Collegiate League. (Exhibit 6 Para.7)
Note:On average Blues Baseball attracts and serves 500-600 fan to the City of San Luis
Obispo and on special evening events up to 3500.
San Luis Blues Clarity
Mr. Golden's San Luis Obispo Blues Baseball Foundation is another example of his
desire to serve the San Luis Obispo community and its residents. The San Luis Obispo
Baseball Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides many essential services to
the underprivileged children in our City and throughout the county. The `Foundations'
goal as envisioned by Mr. Golden(former San Luis Obispo Eagle Scout)has been and
remains to provide an alternative to the streets by providing free season passes to all
youths, as he has done unfailingly since 1994, with contributions of free hot dogs and.
drinks at many home games.
Also, the `Foundation', scholarships about 10%of its total youth campers who attend
Blues camps, which are held each year through out SLO County.
Additionally, Mr. Golden's Foundation donates needed baseball equipment to
disadvantaged children and leagues through out San Luis Obispo County.
Giving is and has always been at the heart of Mr. Golden's endeavors and has developed
into a tradition of goodwill and open handedness through the vessel of San Luis Obispo
Blues Baseball.
For over a decade Mr. Golden's San Luis Obispo Blues have also reached out as
ambassadors of goodwill personally touching the hearts of San Luis Obispo County kids
afflicted with terminal cancer. The San Luis Obispo Blues have humbled themselves in
the presence of these children by attending camp Reach For the Stars, a camp held in
Cambria for the terminally ill. The San Luis Obispo Blues baseball team coddled these
children with compassion and kindness giving these incredible children an opportunity to
set aside their afflictions for just a moment in time.
(Photo Exhibits#7).
This baseball organization has always been a sense of pride for all San Luis Obispo
residents from the post WWII days of 1946 at Father Daly's Mission Field to the present
days at Sinheimer SLO Stadium. Five generation of San Luis Obispo Blues players and
fan have come and gone and yet through the generations it is the residents and
community of San Luis Obispo that continue to love and support their home team.
The San Luis Obispo Blues are here to stay, this team is woven into the fabric of the City
of San Luis Obispo's rich heritage, much in the same way the Dodgers are to Los
Angeles,the Angels to Anaheim, the Giants to San Francisco and the Padres are to San
Diego.
Proudly, our San Luis Obispo Blues are the second oldest ball club in the state of
California behind only the Santa Maria Indians, also in 2006 Mr. Golden established the
San Luis Obispo County Hall of Fame in tribute to the contributions of the extraordinary
men that have served before him.
Note: It has become easy for some to criticize the San Luis Obispo Blues organization for
allowing kids to chase foul balls(a national tradition at every MLB park), parking issues,
trash, neatness, cleanliness, gophers, ants, screw holes etc. but I suggest that these items
can always be improved upon with better communiqui by all parties and should never be
justification to penalize or diminish what this team has brought and continues to bring to
our community and its youths.
The San Luis Obispo Blues Baseball Organization has given and continues to give so
much to our kids, our families and our community they continue to be a treasured part of
our local tradition. (See United Way Day and Y Day at the park,Exhibits 8,9)
Despite many hardships encountered through out the years Mr. Golden has remained
determined to bring the San Luis Obispo community and its youths clean affordable clean
family entertainment!
To not recognize or reward this organization with a longterm contract is to deny the
sense of pride that our community has and has had over six decades of great baseball with
our home town team.

Approving and Granting stadium priority to the San Luis Obispo Blues
The Advisory Committee On Joint Use Of Recreational Facilities should approve and
grant highest priority to the San Luis Obispo Blues for use of SLO Baseball Stadium for,
but not limited to the following reasons:
The inspiration for a San Luis Obispo hometown baseball team was historically a City
Council request(to Sandy Leguina), in the same spirit the current San Luis Obispo Blues
should be accepted, embraced and bestowed the status as San Luis Obispo's official
"home field"team,(as advertised)by its current City leaders.
It is our request that our current City officials formally recognize and legitimize the San
Luis Obispo Blues as this City's official "home team". (Exhibit# 11)
Also, the City of SLO Parks and Recreation Department, Master Plan section 2.52.1
states, "There will be sufficient fields within the City to accommodate practice and
competition demands for organized and informal activity."
As such, any consent in favor of an additional organized collegiate team into San Luis
Obispo stadium implies that there is indeed public demand.for an additional collegiate
team within San Luis Obispo City limits.
At present there has been NO data supporting public demand for an additional collegiate
home team, nor.census, nor survey, nor market research, nor opinion poll, nor petitions
that have supported any public need, want, desire or demand for inclusion of an
additional local collegiate team at SLO Stadium.
Additionally, because adoption of an additional collegiate team into SLO Stadium WILL
greatly diminish the economic vitality of the existing San Luis Obispo team there is a
case to be made that there is indeed a lack of sufficient athletic fields located in the City
limits specifically to accommodate practices and competition demands located at SLO
stadium, (pursuant to parks and recreation policy sec.2.52.1).
If the City of San.Luis Obispo deems there is indeed public demand for an additional
semi pro team with in San Luis Obispo City limits then the Friends of the Blues of San
Luis Obispo requests public participation and input on the pro's and con's of additional
competitions demands being placed on the existing home team San Luis Obispo Blues
and pursuant to P&R Master Plan section 2.52.1. (See: Exhibit 12)
Additionally, Websters definition of`Priority' is defined as:
Lthe quality or state of coming first in time.
Isomething that comes first or among the first in importance
3.the right or privilege of precedence over others. (See: Exhibit 13)
Therefore: is it not incumbent on the Joint Use Commission to determine `priority' for
use of SLO Stadium, by applying the definition of`Priority' as defined by Webster
Dictionary and to determine whether the San Luis Obispo Blues have or don't have, "the
right or privilege of precedence over others" not W41 to but as defined`over others".
Note: The San Luis Obispo Blues are 61-year residents of the town of San Luis Obispo a
case for, "prescedence over others".
Historically it was the San Luis Obispo Blues that brought youth baseball i.e Babe Ruth
and Little League to the City of San Luis Obispo a great case for, "being among the first
in importance".
Most importantly, the SLO Blues continue to serve our community and its youths a great
case for, "coming first in time."Commissioners there shouldn't be any question that it is
the SLO Blues that should be granted priority for use of SLO Stadium over any and all
subsequent incoming sports teams at SLO Stadium..
SAN LUIS OBISPO CITY ADVERTISES THE SAN LUIS BLUES
The City of San Luis Obispo, Parks and Recreation web site advertises the following:
"San Luis Obispo Stadium is currently the home field for San Luis Obispo High School,
San Luis ObispoB s and local Babe Ruth teams." (Exhibit# 11)
c. The local web-site AttractiongVirtualSLO.com also advertises the following: "San
Luis Obispo Stadium is currently the home field for San Luis Obispo High School, San
Luis Obispo Blues and local Babe Ruth teams." (Exhibit # 14)
d. The San Luis Obispo County web site `California's Natural Escapes' advertises San
Luis Obispo Baseball as, " ...the finest collegiate summer baseball sports entertainment
on the Central Coast! The Blues play at SLO stadium located at Sinsheimer Park in San
.Luis Obispo." (Exhibit# 15)
`California's Natural Escapes' also advertises San Luis Obispo Baseball as, "Old

� J
Consider:
i. The City of San Luis Obispo proudly advertises that SLO Stadium is"Home of the
Blues".
ii. The County proudly advertises San Luis Obispo Blues baseball is"a professional
experience" and"family W.
iii. There are no public complaints of rodents, ants,insects, dirtiness, excessive garbage,
urinating, parking problems etc. by any public, city or county websites,sites intended to
be recommendations to the public.
iv. No patron/customer complaints made to Parks and Rec. re: services rendered at the
stadium.
v. Web-site Citysearch rates Blues baseball with a higher rating(7.3)than San Luis
Obispo's Parks and Recreation Dept. (7.1). (Exhibit# 20,21 )
In Closing:
The San Luis Obispo Blues have a 60-year historic tie with the San Luis Obispo citizenry
and the San Luis Obispo baseball community.
The San Luis Obispo Blues founders are directly responsible for establishing youth
baseball in San Luis Obispo i.e Little League Baseball (1953)and Babe Ruth Baseball
(1954).
San Luis Obispo Blues are the 2d oldest existing team in California(1946), behind only
Santa Maria Indians(1944).
Our husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers and great-grandfathers are veterans
of this team and founders with in our baseball community, their sense of team play,
family togetherness, work ethic and sense of fairness has reverberated through six
decades, telltale of timeless admiration and reverence for the San Luis Obispo Blues.
City officials of San Luis Obispo may have to decide whether or not to adopt an
additional team into our community it should not be forgotten that the San Luis Obispo
Blues are with us by birth rite over sixty years ago.
Based on the aforementioned histories, notes and facts and as set forth to you the Joint
Use Committee it is formally requested that the San Luis Obispo Blues be granted the
highest priority for use of San Luis Obispo Stadium over any and all subsequent
incoming sports teams at SLO Stadium, and to reclassify the San Luis Obispo Blues from
`Other' to `College Level Play' and to grant the San Luis Obispo Blues Baseball
Organization a long term contract.
Thank You for your time and considerations!
Friends of the Blues

America's pastime
The SLO Blues deltver entertainment mud a nostalo c sense of community
BY GLEN STARKEY
PHOTOS BY CHRISTOPHER GARDNER
------ -_- Fourth of July picnics, neighborhood block parties, small-town parades -
these are the events that define American life those moments when
_ everyone sets aside their differences, where four generations mingle
effortlessly, where celebration, patriotism, and socializing combine into a
shining moment devoid of everyday worries. Sadly,these moments seem
few and far between,but one place you can experience Americana
nostalgia on a.regular basis is Sinsheimer Paris anytime the SLO Blues
semipro baseball team takes the field.
Watching the boys of summer run onto that green field, cocky and
towering in their crisp uniforms,hearing an a Capella rendition of the
national anthem belted out by a local singer as fans young and old stand
reverently with hands over hearts, hearing the ump'.s voice call out"play
ball!" -pure magic,I tell you.
Team owner Tim Golden revived the team in 1994 after it had drifted
rudderless since 1983. In fact,before Golden took the reins,the team had.
experienced one false start after another, each time ending after a short run
due to financial insolvency. It seemed that no one was interested in seeing
live semipro baseball in SLO County, though that wasn't always the case.

Shortly after World War II, in 1946 to be exact, a San Luis Obispo man
named Sandy Leguina, since deceased, decided the town needed some
entertainment, and the returning vets of the war were the ones to provide
it.
New Times interviewed the then-79-year-old Leguina in 1994 when
Golden first jump-started the Blues.
"I was playing for.the Santa Maria Indians at the time," said Leguina.
"The San Luis City Council took me aside and said, 'Why don't we have
our own team?'I said, 'You'll have it. I'll start it.
And he did,though it was no easy feat. Due to war shortages, no uniforms
were available save a set:in.North Hollywood, and even those were sans
caps and socks. Then there was the field problem.Where were the Blues
going to play?Leguina approached the SLO Mission priest, who gave the
team the go-ahead to play at the Mission Prep field.
"It was nothin'but a gravel pit," recalled Leguina,who organized the
building of a fence with business sponsors,which resulted in a profit for
the team. "We worked every goddamn angle there was. You can't imagine.
And it drew like hell. The town just went crazy for baseball."
Players'wives ran the concession stand, and to smooth out the field
Leguina would drag it in his Cadillac. Eventually the field was sodded..
"The city council tried to charge us for the water to water the ball field,"
htip://www.newtimes-slo.com/archives/cov_stories 2004/cov 06232004.htm 11/9/2006
said Legu ria. "I said, 'You have a lot of guts: You ask�e to start a
baseball team and then you want to charge us for the water!' They billed
us for it, but we never paid it.
"Then we decided we had to have lights. The Santa Maria Indians had
them, so we had to have them, too. We started checking around and found
out the wire wouldn't cost us nothing. It would just disappear from the
PG&E storeroom."

SLO Blues pitcher Joe
Gulden delivers a blistering
speedb all.
As many as 2,000 would show up for the games -not bad for a town of
then 12,000. If the current Blues team drew similarly, thatwould mean
7,500 people! (Instead, most of this summer's Blues games average about
500 spectators.)
By the mid'50s,the Blues' popularity began to wane,mainly due to new
entertainment competition in the form of television. Soon the team
couldn't pay its bills and disappeared. The team was revived off and on,
but the crowds didn't come and no one had the business acumen to keep
the team going,at least until Tim Golden came along:
"That.first,aame in 1994, I was expecting 100 or maybe 150 people, but
600 showed up," recalled Golden recently. "I was absolutely shocked. I
hadto keep making runs to Smart&Final for more food."
Over thelast.decade, Golden has built the team into something special.
About 1,200 showed up for opening day this season. The last three years,
the team has made it to the national showdown in Wichita. They came in
third place in 2002. This year's team is his best, according to Golden,
who's also coaching this season.

About a do ..,n friends and I lit a late-afternoon game _ ;ouple weeks ago
and were treated to a slice of Americana heaven. I arrived about 5:45 p.m.
for the 6:05 game, and Sinsheimer Stadium was quickly filling up with
baseball fans as announcer Scott Cusick introduced each team's roster.
Right before game time, local 14-year-old singer Rachel Hough delivered
a moving rendition of the national anthem, and I couldn't help but feel my
heart creeping into my throat as everyone turned to face the flag, hands
over their heart. Sappy? Sure, but there's something about baseball that
taps into what is quintessentially American: competition, camaraderie, and
community.
The Blues took the field and the crowd sent up a rousing yell. That night
our team faced the North Coast Hammers,who turned out to be worthy
opponents, scoring three runs in the first inning and forcing the Blues to
play catch-up the rest of the game.
The action was impressive, and the tension never let up. In the bottom of
the ninth, the Blues were down 3-6 but had just one out with runners on
first and second. Quentin Cate,who represented the tying run, swung and
struck a line drive to third. The crowd roared, went momentarily silent,
then deflated completely when a double play resulted, ending the game,
dashing our hopes. No two ways about it: That's great baseball.!
"In any liven Blues game, you may see eight or 10 Major League plays,"
said Golden. "In a.Maj or League game you'll see 26.High school ball you
may see one Major League play a year. We've got a nght.fielder now,
Timmy Van Ostrand; a 20-year-old who's been drafted by the Phillies,
who's been throwing guys out at third.He's got a gun on him! Last Friday
night's game ended in a triple play."
Even if you don't like baseball, the Blues.games are a great way to spend
an afternoon or evening. The food's good. I plowed through nachos, a
burger, and a chicken sandwich, not to mention more than my share of
beers.
Kids seem to love it,too, even if they don't know what's going on, and the
Blues go out of their way to keep the kids interested. For instance, every
kid in the stadium is invited onto the field to remove their shoes, which
are then tossed out into center field. They race from home plate out to
center, find and put on their shoes, and race back The real fun, however
is the bat spin,where kids hold a bat to the ground, and head-to-bat spin
around until dizzy, then try to race around the bases. This is great
entertainment for the adults,too.
FOMING FATHER
Joe Navoni, centerfielder for
the original Blues from 1946
http://www.nev tdmes-slo.com/archives/cov_stories_2004/cov_06232004.htn 11/9/2006
� to '66 enjoys the action
during a recent game. And
yes, he says his 1946 team
could beat the current Blues
lineup.
"Families love it because- come on-where else are you going to keep the
kids entertained for three hours?" asked announcer Scott Cusick. "The
parents can relax and have a beer, and there's plenty of other kids around
for theirs to play with."
During the game I attended, sitting in the comer of the left-field side of
the stadium was Joe Navoni, center field and founding member for the
original Blues team. Navoni was one of several team members who
worked for the SLO Garbage Company, and he stayed with the team from
its inception in 1946 until it first disbanded in 1956. Navoni sat with his
grandson and great-grandson,perfectly representing the generation-
spanning effects of baseball.
Looking out at the current Blues team, did Navoni think the original team
could have beaten them?
"I think we'd beat'em, sure," boasted Navoni. "People forget, these are
still kids,but we were grown men who'd just gotten out of the service.
We'd done it all."
The new SLO Blues are halfway through their l lth season,tying the
original team for the longest continuous stint. The team's success is due to
two things: Tim Golden,whose love of the game has driven the Blues
through a decade of semipro action with no end in sight; and perhaps more
importantly,the public,which despite aU odds has embraced this
cockamamie idea of a local team in the age of
a half-dozen ESPNs.
There's something pure and unspoiled in semipro baseball,where salaries
and endorsements play no part, where players run out on the field out of
sheer joy,players whose whole lives are ahead of them,players on their
way up, still filled with the childlike joy of catching their first pop fly,
running down a bouncing grounder,tang their cuts and connecting,
racing around the bases because they know they're going somewhere,
somewhere good.
"I love what I do. I love it," said Golden, and I know he's telling the truth.
He talks with passion about "the game," lauding his players with hard-

tourney, which he hopes will eventually replace Wichita's National
Baseball Congress World Series as "The Place" for semipro teams to
prove their worth.
I watch as the players' shadows lengthen on the field, as the lights go on in
the stadium.Leaning against the back fence, I watch as the baseball fans
in front of me turn into silhouettes. On the well-lit field below, players
scramble in the waning innings of what has been a a eat jame. It's
summertime, Fm at a ballgame, and I can't think of abetter place to be.

permits, as well as appeals.
If Council concurs, the motion should reflect this revision.
