You gotta believe!
Friday's opening rally by the stadium-booster group Baseball San Jose was long on enthusiasm and short on such specifics as where a stadium would be built, who would play there, or who would pay for it. "We have no idea what the final number is going to be," said city councilmember Ken Yeager of public stadium expenditures, which by city law would require a voter referendum. Another of the seven councilmembers to throw out symbolic "first pitches" for the booster group, Forrest Williams, stuck to enthusing: "I believe in baseball. We want a baseball team now."
