This release from the Yankees:
The New York Yankees have announced the addition of strictly kosher food offerings and Shabbat accommodations at their November 2009 and January 2010 Fantasy Camps.
Glatt kosher food will be provided by Weberman Foods with OK supervision, and a Friday “Dream Game” will be played so Shomer Shabbat Jews can participate.
Campers who keep kosher will be able to fully participate in all regular camp activities and have three strictly kosher meals served daily. The camp will offer traditional Shabbat services Friday night and Saturday, as well as special Shabbat speakers and programming.
For six days and seven nights, Yankees Fantasy Campers live the life of a big league player, dressing in full Yankees uniform and using the same Spring Training clubhouse and fields as the New York Yankees. All campers get their very own locker and a staff of clubhouse attendants and professional trainers to create the authentic Yankees experience.
Former Yankees Chris Chambliss, Bucky Dent, Tommy John, Mickey Rivers, and Ron Blomberg, among others, are scheduled to attend.
Founded in 1997 and located in Tampa, Fla., the New York Yankees Fantasy Camp has hosted over 1,500 campers and 50 former New York Yankees players. For more information on the New York Yankees Fantasy Camp, and the addition of strictly kosher and Shabbat accommodations, please call (800) 368-2267.
Oy Vay!
I guess being a half-jew…I feel pretty good about this…I guess if i was going and fully Kosher….
Also must be a lot of us Jews going to these camps to change the menu…
FINALLY
Such a mitzvah.
Super slow news day, Pete???
any chance the Yankees draft a 5-tool position player in Round 1?
tired of the yankees drafting every pitcher. We need to flood the system with position players. Preferably, some outfielders
Hey Pete
Any updates on the Melkster? I was out of the area til about 11 and missed what happened last night.
how did the MelkMan get hurt? was he diving for a ball or was it throwing?

That’s called knowing your audience.
(Fellow chosen person here…)
Realy, Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done. This action proof to be a win, win situation. This is a true art
work, which will be a success story.There’s usually a good bunch of talent nominated- they just don’t usually win.
