SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Andy Meyer was walking by the batting cage at Salt River Fields one morning during the recent D-backs Fantasy Camp when he noticed former big leaguers Mark Grace and Matt Williams each working with a group of campers.
"Here were these two former Major Leaguers who didn't have to be out there early in the morning working with campers like we were real players," said the 62-year-old Meyer, who has attended 12 D-backs Fantasy Camps.
To Grace and Williams, along with the rest of the former big leaguers who make up the camp's coaching staff, working with campers -- those well past their primes and ones who never had them -- is what makes their week so much fun.
