Kevin McAlpin and his son Max report from Tampa, Florida, where Braves Fantasy Camp faces Yankees Fantasy Camp at spring training. Kevin Flaherty, a former player coaching Braves campers, says participants love baseball and show strong knowledge, including plate strategy discussions and a 67-year-old pitcher throwing two scoreless innings of strikes. Flaherty adds the camp’s travel and cross-team play make campers feel like major leaguers. Paul Byrd reports the Braves won 11-6 at George Steinbrenner Field, met Doc Gooden, and notes the Braves played decisively despite Yankees star power. Byrd then heads to another field for a subsequent game and shares a humorous remark from Mr. Steinbrenner about the Yankees’ luck.
"Paul Byrd, another former player, reports from George Steinbrenner Field that the Braves Fantasy Camp defeated the Yankees 11-6. He mentions meeting Doc Gooden, one of his childhood heroes, similar to how he felt meeting Dale Murphy as a child. Despite the star power on the Yankees side, the Braves showed no mercy and won decisively."
