Council Member Hartnett reported that "the Redwood City National Little League Team <br /> won its game tonight, 12-0, the ten year old All Stars. And they will be advancing in the <br /> City tournament. But probably of more significance, the All Star Team of 11 and 12 year <br /> olds from Redwood City that played in one last night, attended tonight's game as well, and <br /> the report was, they were more excited by the fact that the Mayor threw out the first pitch <br /> last night, and actually threw a strike, and then gave them high fives. They didn't know <br /> that a Mayor could do that." <br /> Mayor Howard congratulated "all those fine young athletes. <br /> MEMO 7/7/98 <br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------n__---- <br />8.
