September 25, 200422 yr It's nice to see more former Marlins involved. Last year it seemed that there were more "old timers" from other teams than from Florida. Of course our history is still pretty young. Also it looks like the price is $1995. http://www.allstaradventures.com/registration.htm

September 26, 200422 yr When I watched Mets/Marlins games on MSG, they advertised for the Mets Fantasy Camp. I was wondering if the Marlins had one.....I would kill to go to one of those.

I just remember last year there was quite a few Twins "old timers" in the Marlins fantasy camp advertisement....in fact I think it was held at Ft. Myers also.
