''It's a great opportunity for the fans we already have to give them something special and give them an opportunity to come out to the ballpark.''

The Quakes, Brender said, hope that the public workout reminds residents of the Quakes' close relationship with the neighboring Anaheim Angels, which often send players rehabilitating injuries to play for the Quakes.
''The more people that come here and see the product we're affiliated with, the more fans we'll bring in,'' Brender said. ''It just further strengthens the relationship between the Quakes, the Angels and our fans.''
The Rancho Cucamonga City Council approved a motion Jan. 16 to allow the Quakes to use the city-owned Epicenter rent free on Feb. 2 and Feb. 6.
The Angels will hold a workout Feb. 6 for Quakes sponsors, season-ticket holders and local leaders, according to a city staff report.
