SJ Giants need homes
Signing a professional baseball contract is an exciting experience for any young man. But the early years of his career can be difficult and lonely.
Many of the players--most of them in their late teens and early 20s--find themselves away from home for the first time.
That's why the San Jose Giants, a Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, looks for local families to take in their players each season.
The search is on for host families for the 2002 season that runs April through August.
Host families provide a player with a room, and the Giants provide season tickets and parking passes for all of the club's games at San Jose Municipal Stadium.
For more information on the host family program, call Pereira at 408.297.1435, ext. 19.
