Mayor Corbett spoke regarding the Police Athletic League (PAL) program. She said the program is in its second year; 80 children participated in 1993 and 180 in 1994. She said the program provides a wonderful opportunity for children to play baseball after the regular League play has ended and supports both boys' and girls' organized baseball . She said San Leandro PAL sponsored this year's season-ending Tournament with Oakland, Berkeley, and Martinez, when the Oakland A's went on strike. The event was co-sponsored by the San Leandro Unified School District, whose ball field was used for the Tournament. Mayor Corbett thanked the Washington Manor Junior Baseball League for its support in keeping the snack bar open for players throughout the season. She congratulated Terry's Troops, coached by Dan Paiva, for their fine playing, and Ricky's Posse, coached by Autrey James, which defeated Berkeley and Oakland teams to win the Tournament. The Mayor congratulated the players and their coaches on behalf of the City Council and presented certificates. Mayor Corbett also recognized three people from outside the community who were instrumental in promoting PAL: Dave Perron and Audrey Minagawa from the Oakland Athletics and Ron Exley, Program Development Director of the California Police Athletic League.
