And Jeffrey Leonard After taking over the full-time head-coaching position in January, Leonard, a former major leaguer, is pleased with the progress his players are making. ``The class is still going strong,'' Leonard said of the more than 30 prospective players practicing with the team, which will open at home Feb. 11 against San Bernardino Valley The San Bernardino Valley is the hub of Southern California's Inland Empire. It is drained by the Santa Ana River. It is bordered on the north by the San Bernardino Mountains and the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, on the east by the San Jacinto Mountains, and on the south and west . On the team's first day of tryouts 72 players showed up, a surprising number to Leonard, who expects to carry 25 to 28 players to start the season. ``I couldn't believe how many players came out,'' Leonard said. ``I made it perfectly clear when the class began that everyone is not going to make it.'' For obvious reasons, Leonard lends credibility to the program. He made his major-league debut with the Dodgers in 1977 and played for the Houston Astros “Astros” redirects here.

With the Giants, he hit home runs in four consecutive games - the only player in history to do so. The bat used during the streak is in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. ``The door is open (for the players),'' he said. ``I've found different ways to communicate, and the kids are listening. I gave them the option of doing it the college way or the college and professional way. They get a flavor of the pro level. You have to have something fresh to motivate them.''
