Yankee Stadium to Host Baseball Fantasy Camp for First Time

$5,500 to scoop up pathetic memories of Steve Blateric’s bladder ick. Good luck, a-holes…pull a rotting hammy for me!

New York Yankees fans who have dreamed of stepping up to the same plate as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Derek Jeter will get their chance.

The 26-time World Series champions are holding a fantasy camp at Yankee Stadium for the first time in August, allowing fans to don their own pinstriped uniforms and take the field, Yankees Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost said in an interview. Pricing hasn’t been set. The seven-day camp at the team’s spring training complex in Tampa, Florida, costs $5,500 a person.

...Former Yankees players appearing in the franchise’s annual Old-Timers Day game on Aug. 2 will coach and manage participants in the camp on Aug. 4-6, Trost said. In the past, former players Whitey Ford, Rich ``Goose’’ Gossage and Reggie Jackson have played in the game.

Two of those three people are dead. That plate might be contagious.
