Host families

The San Jose Giants, the local Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, is seeking host families for players for the 2008 season that runs April 1 through Sept. 10. Host families provide a player with a room, and the Giants provide families with season tickets and parking passes for all of the club's games at San Jose Municipal Stadium. The team also hosts picnics for the families and other events, which this year will include a trip to Fresno to see the Triple A Grizzlies play.
