10/12/10 – Invitation
The day after the Phillies found out they would be opposing the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series, an envelope from Phillies Phantasy Camp arrived in my mailbox. It was my official invitation to Phantasy Camp Orientation in mid-November at Citizens Bank Park. According to the invitation, in addition to receiving all the camp-related materials and paperwork, I will also be fitted for my authentic Phillies uniform, have my picture taken for the media guide, meeting the “Commissioner”, and receive “a few surprises” along the way. When I was told about this orientation in March, I thought November sounded like an eternity, especially since the baseball regular season hadn’t even started at that point. Now it’s only a month away. The Phillies have gotten one step closer to another World Series appearance. The camp is just over three months away. Time flies when you are having fun.
