88-year-old Lew Dunlap, MVP of our hearts, is also the official MVP of Rockies Fantasy Camp
88-year-old mound-charger is Rockies Fantasy Camp MVP
By now you've seen the competitive side of 88-year-old Lew Dunlap, who was spry enough to work his way toward the mound when a pitch got too close to him during Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale, Ariz:
But that gritty competition led to a lot of fun in the end.
Dunlap's team won the championship, and photographer Jamie Schwaberow of Clarkson Creative, which serves as the official photo service for the Rockies, captured the celebration in a series of pictures:
Here's how Schwaberow described the experience on the series of photos he placed on his Facebook page:
Not sure if you've heard this story yet, about a man named Lew Dunlap, but it's pretty great. He was a camper this year at the Colorado Rockies Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale, Ariz. There are plenty of campers, typically 60 or so, but never in my 16 years of covering camp have I witnessed an 88-year-old out there giving it his all. Between almost rushing the mound after an inside pitch, kissing the golden arm of a teammate, celebrating a championship complete with champagne and winning the All-Camp MVP Award, it's easy to say his week was a success. #youremyboylew #Rockies Jamie Schwaberow/Clarkson Clarkson Creative
