Welcome to the 2015 Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Camp Last year’s fantasy camp began on Super Bowl Sunday. This year, due to Super Bowl XLIX being played in Phoenix, Fantasy Camp had to start a bit earlier to accommodate the mass of people who will be invading the area in a little more than a week. But this week is all about YOU and the Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Camp. Throughout the week you’ll play baseball and be coached by former players with who have a combined 136 years of Major League service. The everyday players have com- bined to play in 11,823 games, hit 1,155 home runs, 11,140 hits, 5,217 RBI, with a .262 batting average. The pitchers have combined to pitch in 484 games, with 1,231 innings pitched, 72 wins, 50 saves, and a 4.18 earned run average. With numbers like those, it’s no won- der that eight of this week’s coaches were honored last season with induction into the Brewers Wall of Honor. One of this week’s coaches was behind the dish for the Brewers’ only no-hitter, but I don’t like to brag. Leaving the cold, bitter winter weather back home is reason enough for me and many of you to seek the Arizona sun and warmth for the next week, but that’s not the only reason we’re here. All of the coaches, including my- self, are here for one reason: baseball. It’s what we love to do and talk about. Don’t hesitate to ask us questions about our playing days or how you can improve your game. We’re here for you. We’ll supply most everything you’re going to need this week for you to have fun, it’s up to you to take it. You’re going to have one of the best weeks of your life. I guarantee it! PLAY BALL!
