Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation to Partner with Bambino Buddy Ball in Surprise

March 9th, 2020

The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will host its fourth annual Arizona edition of Baseball Fantasy Camp for Kids in Surprise, Arizona on Wednesday, March 11.

Baseball Fantasy Camp for Kids is designed to give youngsters with physical challenges the opportunity to feel like professional baseball players for a day by participating in a one-day clinic hosted by their Major League heroes.

Joining the Rangers for the event will be 40 youngsters from the city of Surprise’s Bambino Buddy Ball program. Participants will each be instructed by Rangers minor league coaches and staff. Pitchers Austin Bibens-Dirx and Taylor Guerrieri, along with outfielder Steele Walker, are expected to appear at the event. And each child will receive an authentic, customized Rangers jersey to commemorate the day.

Baseball Fantasy Camp for Kids will be held at DreamCatcher Park, located at 14534 West Tierra Buena Lane, Surprise, 85374. Activities run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Rangers have hosted similar fantasy camps in partnership with Miracle League DFW in Arlington, and most recently Miracle League of Southlake, for the past eight years.
