Phantasy Camp Draws an International Flair
By Eddie Michels on January 19, 2013CLEARWATER, Fla. –Calgary resident Mark Lange paid $5000.00 (US) plus airfare to spend four days playing baseball at the Phillies Phantasy Camp at the Phillies Carpenter Complex. Shown flying out to right Lange said of being a Phillies fan, “Its been my team since 1978 through a lot of good times and bad.” As to why he isn’t a Blue Jays fan, “I lived in Edmonton at the time and all we got was (Seattle) Mariners games so I picked the Phillies.” Lange and 130 other Phantasy Campers will end their stay in camp on Sunday when each team plays a three inning game against the former Phillies players.
