Talk about fun! I was one of about 15 local folks who had the pleasure of playing baseball at Gesa Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It was the Gesa/Dust Devils Fantasy Baseball Camp & Game, and I had an absolute blast.
We divided up into two teams — blue and gold, and a pair of Dust Devils players was assigned to coach each team. We started out doing some stretching on the outfield grass with the Dust Devils leading the routine. Then it was infield practice and shagging fly balls. When that ended, we moved to the batting cage and took some practice swings. Then it was time for baseball! They did the whole routine with us — a ceremonial first pitch, player introductions, national anthem, and everything. Too fun! The whole thing lasted a little less than three hours, and even though I haven’t been that sore in years, it was super fun. I’d do it again tomorrow in a heartbeat!
I played pretty well, too: 1-1 at the plate with a walk and a run scored. No errors in the field at 3B, with a couple successful grounders and fly balls fielded, and one hot line drive that would’ve killed me if I didn’t catch it. Whew! Our team lost, 6-5, but we all had a good time.
Huge thanks to Gesa and the Dust Devils for putting on such a fun event. If they do it again next year, I’m so there. Here are some of my pictures. Yes, I was taking photos and tweeting right on the field during the game!
