Phillies Phantasy Camp had a wonderful Alumni Batting Practice and Reunion on Saturday!  On an incredibly beautiful day, 27 campers came together for a morning batting practice and fielding session at Citizens Bank Park.  Getting a chance to dust off their skills and uniforms, spirits were high as alumni caught up with each other as they took swings and ground balls on the big league field.  After lunch, everyone went on a special “behind the scenes” tour of Citizens Bank Park.

That evening, friends and family gathered for the Alumni Reunion.  Phantasy Camp Players, General Managers and Phans trotted onto the field and were introduced in front of the 22,000+ crowd.  Phantasy Camp 2015 Cy Young Award Winner, Damian Andrisani, was honored by throwing out the first pitch, which was a perfect strike! Everyone then rooted on the Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Padres and some campers even danced on the dugout with the Phanatic.  All in all, it was a great night of celebration and memories from a fantastic 2015 Phantasy Camp.

Phillies Phantasy Camp alumni gathered for a pre-game tailgate at McFadden’s Ball Park on Saturday, August 1st. Food and cold drinks were enjoyed as campers had the chance to catch-up with friends and reminisce the good times from camp. Thanks to all who came out for this event!

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in Wednesday night’s batting practice at Campbell’s Field in Camden, NJ.  For those of you who were not able to attend, here is a recap of the night:

Everyone started arriving around 5pm and hung out on the concourse.  It was great to see new and old friends start to connect and catch up.  As Rutgers-Camden wrapped up their practice, we made our way down to the field.  As I am sure most of you baseball fans can attest, it doesn’t matter how old or young you are, or what kind of field or stadium you step on, but once you do, there is no better feeling then knowing you are about to play baseball.

Everyone settled in and put their gear down in the third base dugout.  Conversations about past and future camps continued as everyone made their way out to the foul line to stretch and warm up their arms.  For some, it looked like they were in mid-season form.  For others, including the Phantasy Camp staff, it looked as though we were going to need a heavy dose of stretching and Advil the next day.

Everyone was split into two teams, and the game was underway.  Again, it looked as though everyone picked up right where they left off in January.  There were some great plays made in the field, and some balls crushed into the gaps.  Needless to say, everyone had a good time, and there certainly were some good laughs.

After the game ended, we made our way up into the Diamond Club for some post game hot dogs and hamburgers.  The conversations and stories of past camps continued and you could see how everyone was getting excited for camp in January.  All in all, everyone had a good time and it was great to see some familiar faces.  We, the Phillies Phantasy Camp Staff, want to thank everyone for an awesome night and we all look forward to seeing you all of you at the next event.  And remember Go Phillies!
