Council To Discuss Summer Baseball

A Berry Picker tells Huckleberries: "The Cda City Council will vote tonight on a recommendation to endorse the concept of bringing a West Coast League team to CdA. The General Services committee voted 3-0 (Adams and Edinger and Kennedy) on August 27 to approve this and it now goes before the council tonight. The West Coast League is a summer wooden bat collegiate league that will have 16 teams in it from the Northwest and Western Canada. They would play 30 home games in the proposed 15th street stadium and 30 games on the road. The players would stay with families in the area. If the council approves the recommendation tonight, the city would begin serious talks with the team's owner Irv Zakheim (and his close friend Bobby Brett, pictured) and the league's president Ken Wilson who lives in Portland and is also an announcer for the Seattle Mariners."

Question: Should the City Council endorse concept of bringing a West Coast League team to Coeur d'Alene?
