88-year-old man threatens to charge the mound at fantasy camp
Spring training begins in mere days, and many teams hold fantasy camps prior to the arrival of big-league players.
It’s the chance for the average fan to act like big leaguers. However, there is nothing average about 88-year-old Lew Dunlap, who was at the Rockies’ fantasy camp.
After a pitch was a little too high and tight, Lew decided to take his bat and visit the mound.
Fortunately for all involved, the umpire got involved.
