Sorry I’ve been away and neglectful. I’m a bit excited about going to Yankees Fantasy Camp in November. I’ll be writing about the experience for my other blog as well as the NJ Jewish News and a few other outlets because of the new kosher component, which offers kosher food and special programming for Jewish Sabbath observers.
This all came about relatively quickly. I just got permission from the Camp administrators last week. The packet they sent included a 12-week training program designed to lead up to the first day, so I’m already nine weeks behind. Fortunately I think I’m in fairly good enough baseball shape that I can catch up.
Scheduled to appear at the camp (that I know of ) are authors Reggie Jackson (Sixty Feet, Six Inches) and Marty Appel (Munson) so I hope to be able to grab a few minutes with them.
The itinerary indictaes a couple of autograph sessions. I must admit, I’ve never been that excited about getting some celebrity to sign a piece of paper (unless it’s really personalzied, not just a pro forma “Dear Ron, Good Luck, M. Mantle”). I prefer to have a picture taken with people as “proof” that I met them.
That’s it for now. Off to take a few swings.
