The Most Wonderful Week of the Year

baseball player. Sadly, his baseball dream was cut
short by a lack of talent and a high school coach
without the foresight to see the potential Berger
had, relegating him to the bench. After years of
playing catch with his sons or first base in the beer
leagues, he thought his days of competing at a
higher level were long gone. That is, until the ripe
age of fifty-seven, when his dreams became a reality
at fantasy baseball camp.

For those with the energy and the resources, fantasy
baseball camp affords players an incredible opportunity:
the chance to play baseball just like a major leaguer.
Through Roy’s experience, we go inside some of
baseball’s most hallowed halls and sacred spaces as
he suits up, trains, and plays in the same spots where
greats like Roberto Clemente, Al Kaline, and Derek
Jeter have, culminating with playing at the home of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, beautiful PNC Park. So take a
trip around the bases for four weeks over four years,
as Berger becomes a Pittsburgh Pirate, Detroit Tiger,
and a New York Yankee. He proves that anyone
blessed with good health and the ability to write a
check can do it, too.
