SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Ryan Burr's love of baseball was a gift from his father, Scott, who raised the D-backs Minor League right-hander around the game almost from the time he was born.
Last month, Ryan repaid the favor by giving his dad the gift of getting to play baseball once again.
"He called me and said, 'I've got a surprise for you. I got you D-backs Fantasy Camp for Christmas, and I really want you to do it before you get too old,'" Scott said, as he stood outside the clubhouse at Salt River Fields.
Baseball was always a bond between the two, with Scott an avid player in the Men's Senior Baseball League.
