This is a reminder of the telephone conversation we had before
you went on vacation regarding the Baltimore Orioles use of Bobby.* -
Maduro Miami Baseball Stadium for spring training,
As verbally agreed between Mr. Lucchino, representing the
Baltimore Orioles, and the City Manager. the Orioles will play,
at the stadium, 12 games in the 1909 spring training season under
the same basic agreement we had for the 1900 spring training
season. Although no improvements are required to the stadium as
a condition of the agreement, we did commit. to increasing the
number bf practice batting cages to four.
Mr_. Lucchino was informed of the new seat surcharge ordinance and
requested a copy of said ordinance. If you have not done so yet,
please -send Mr. Lucchino a copy immediately. The Orioles
requested, and were granted, the right to sell advertising on -:tha
outfield wall. The revenues will be split 50-50 with the City.
In, order to set the advertising rates commensurate ,this
attendance at all events -held at the stadium, we need to send;:Mr.
Lucchino, as soon as possible, information regarding events held
at the stadium duringthe last fiscal
year and the attendance x.
figures for those events.-

Your prompt response to these requests mill be appreciated.`

Mr. be Yurre$ That sounds food.

Hr. Plummer$ Yes. I ton to along with that.
Mayor suarea$ Very rood, anything humanly possible.
Mr. be Turret Let as tell you, Grapeland Park looks really good.
Mr. Dawklne$ Abd that says Godly possible, let's pray for that too.
Mayor Suarez$ Right.
Mr. Fluaimers Short of writing a check.
Mr. be Turco$ You know I was... Mr. Mayor, I was sitting with Mr. Odic a —
moment ago and Jack and we're going over the plans and the Grapeland Park has y
! ovatything you could want. Tou know, I don't see any reason why the Orioles
j as it's being presented and I've soon it, why they would object to it. They
i Sot the clubhouse, they've got the fields that they want and whatever, you
know... if we're talking about whatever it takes within reason, we are able, to
give them, within reason, all that they need right in that park and they're
close to hotels, you know, there are a number of hotels right on Le Jeuns to
facilitate their headquarters and I think it's an ideal situation.
Mr. Dawkinss OK, will I agree perhaps to a point, but I'm not about to tell : w
the president of the Orioles what his needs are. Now, if you offered it to
him and he said it doesn't beet his needs, I accept that it doesn't meethis
heads. OR? All right. r —
t R k
Mr. Elide$ Cosiolssioner, I'm not reel sure that's what's happened. They
wouldn't be coming down here to look at Grapeland.
