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: http://www.theplayerspoint.com/THEPLAYE ... _CAMP.html 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.

I like to think it wasn't broken.

I really, really need to do this someday.

I'd take out the -ish. Expensive as a space suit. Does any of the money go to charity?

How much does it cost?

bmfc1 Jan 17 2013 08:22 AM Re: Fantasy Camp 2013

$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 Jan 17 2013 01:17 PM Re: Fantasy Camp 2013

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 Jan 17 2013 01:43 PM Re: Fantasy Camp 2013

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

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.
