I've been working on it a long time, but there's just too much opposition in the community.

Nothing has changed in the ash. The Health Department wants to change the standards. We've never done nothing illegal here and we're not going to.

Originally, less than a handful of people had a problem with us doing what we're going to be doing. Now it's pretty much the whole community.

We need a permanent fix and that will take some time. It's going to take a commitment at the community, professional and state level to come up with a solution.

It's really grown into a community-based occasion.

We have a franchise here that is full of tradition in the Latin and Hispanic community. Probably no franchise in baseball has more [Latin] tradition than the Giants, and now it comes full circle with our manager, Felipe [Alou], and with all the players. Just seeing Omar dancing on the stage an hour before the game is wonderful.
