City of Clearwater 401 Drew Street Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Moore: This is to confirm our conversation or Tuesday, December 8th, in that I am making orficial application for the rental of Jack Russell Stadium for the purpose of having a Florida State League Professional Baseball Club therein. I will offer to pay ll~ per adult paid admission and 54 per child paid ad- mission and what other fees are necessary to be comparable to what the Softball Bombers have received the past three years. I will agree that the Softball Bombers would have first choice of playing dates, that we would play on a skinned diamond and be responsible for a portable mound to be put down for a baseball home stand and removed for the Bombers' home stand. In return I would expect to receive 20% from the gross concessions, split the revenue from the fence advertising down the middle and handle our own score card. We would like a lease of three years with an option to renew for three years. The first year our working agreement would be with the Kansas City Ath~etics. The other new team in the league would be Milwaukee at West Palm Beach. We would operate in a first-class manner with no stock or local investment money being invo~ved. It would be very much appreciated if we could hear from you at your earliest convenience. I understand that you have to take this up with the City Manager and the City Commission. Yours very truly, Is/ Earle W. Halstead, President BASEBALL BLUE BOOK, INC. 7225 30th Avenue, North, P.O.Box 10579 St. Petersburg, Florida 33733 -~--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( con'tinued) .
