Caller 1: I think it
’d be great if the Oakland A’s came to the area. It would be
nice to have a professional team in the area and it would also
bring new jobs in. Hollister needs growth, the whole area needs
growth. If we had a casino and a professional team nearby, I think
it would bring a lot of good things to Sa
n Benito County.

Green Phone: Good points, caller. As far-fetched as the idea may sound, there would obviously be a huge upside for the local economy should the Athletics decide to relocate to the area.
Caller 2: I don’t know if this is the right number to call but I’m just calling to let you know the owner over at Planet Fitness on Monterey (in Gilroy) came in second in the state Sunday in a racquetball tournament … I think it was the over-35 group. Thought maybe you guys would want to go talk to him. I think he would be happy to share it with him. Thank you.
Green Phone: In fact, we did talk with him a few days ago. Ricardo Espinoza, a 35-year-old Gilroy resident competing in the first racquetball tournament of his life, made a remarkable run to the finals of the Greater Sacramento Open before falling to California’s No. 2-ranked player. So again, hats off to Ricardo.
Caller 3: Happy New Year! This is John with (sorry, maybe next time). I’m calling regarding the refinancing of your existing mortgages. If you’d like to lower your existing mortgage payment, consolidate credit card debt, put more cash in your pocket every single month, call us as soon as possible!
Green Phone: No.
Caller 4: My name is Curtis and I’m with the 10-Star All-Star basketball camp and we’re currently taking applications for our basketball camp. I was just calling hoping you could help me get something in the Dispatch about it. Thank you very much.
Green Phone: Will do, Curtis. The 10-Star is a national camp based in Charlotte, NC. Applications for the invitational-only camp are now being evaluated, with boys and girls ages 10-19 eligible to apply. Players from 50 states and 17 foreign countries attended the 2004 version of the camp, which is considered a proving grounds for college scholarships. The list of alumni, a practical who’s who of basketball, includes Tim Duncan, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, Antawn Jamison and some guy named Michael Jordan. Camp locations are at 22 sites around the country – the closest to here being Belmont and Thousands Oaks. For a free brochure, you can call (704) 373-0873.
