The most incredible baseball experience of my lifetime was at the A's Fantasy Camp. The most epic part of the camp is walking into the clubhouse for the very first time, just like the real players do, and seeing your genuine A's uniform hanging in your own locker while being surrounded by some of the A's greatest legends of all time, like Ricky Henderson, Bert "Campy" Campaneris, and Carney Lansford. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would have the chance to play and rub elbows with these guys. They are always professional, personable, and friendly. Over the past 20 years, they have all become my friends even away from the A's Fantasy Camp.
