Welcome to the 2014 Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Camp It’s rare that Fantasy Camp starts on Super Bowl Sunday, but after the game ends get ready for a super time that won’t last just one day. Throughout the week you’ll play baseball and be coached by former players who happened to play for your favorite team: the Milwaukee Brewers. Two of them grew up in Wisconsin and went on to play for the Brewers. Can you name them both? Four of the coaches played in a combined 15 All-Star Games. Who are they? Flashback to 1982 when one of the coaches saved two games in the ALCS and got the Angels’ Rod Carew to ground out to Robin Yount to secure the Crew’s trip to the World Series, while the other coach won two games in that year’s Fall Classic. What are their names again? Can you name the coach who intro- duced the hockey-style catchers mask to Major League Baseball? All you have to hear is “Easter Sunday” and many remember this coach’s game-tying home run in the bot- tom of the ninth inning which helped the Brewers win their 12th consecutive game to start the 1987 season. Who was he? And finally, also coaching the campers this week is the ‘Tiny’-est of all Brewers, along with the man who held the biggest position on the team. You know who I’m talking about, don’t you? Like myself, many of you are leaving the cold of your hometowns to spend a week in sunny Arizona. All of the coaches, including myself, are here for three reasons: to teach, talk, and play baseball. It’s up to you to have fun. Believe me when I say you’ll have one of the best weeks of your life. Ask some of the camp veterans and they’ll tell you the same. I guarantee it! PLAY BALL!
