Fantasy Camp 2013

Cliff Floyd looking unrecognizeably skinny in his shorts and sanitaries.



Way to check in at your rookie playing weight.

I don't know who this guy is but he's providing daily updates from Fantasy Camp:

Not as good as mine from 2009 but still worthwhile. Terry's there, probably to teach bunting. Or to find an outfielder.

Mark Rosenmann, same guy who gave us those interviews with Eric Hillman and Doug Flynn after attending a previous fantasy camp.

Fixed that for you.

[Edgy MD]

I like to think it wasn't broken.

I really, really need to do this someday.

First year I'm eligible, but yeah.

Expensiveish though.

[Edgy MD]

I'd take out the -ish. Expensive as a space suit.

Does any of the money go to charity?

[Benjamin Grimm]

How much does it cost?

[bmfc1]

$4,395 (same price as in 2009). That includes your flights, ground transportation, room (at double occupancy--you can upgrade), breakfast, lunch, two dinners, two real uniforms and equipment.

I did it in 2002. Most fun you can have with your clothes on. Worth every overpriced penny.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It doesn't sound too horribly overpriced. It's not the kind of thing that I'd personally be interested in, but if I was I'd be willing to pony up $4400, especially since it includes airfare. (I'm curious, does that just mean airfare from the continental U.S.? What if I was a Mets fan living in Japan or Korea, for instance? If that's a fixed worldwide airfare, then international participants can be getting a real bargain!)

[Edgy MD]

I'd take a trip to Korea just to get the camp to pay for the trip back.

Agreed.

From the NY area. I flew on my own from Maryland and got a travel credit (they still picked me up at the airport).

One of the high points of my life is grounding out to short off Bob Apodaca.

Because 1) I have it on tape, and 2) I pulled the ball.
