Kids love playing baseball, right? I know when I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of it. When I couldn't play, I hung around on the sidelines and pretended to be a play-by-play announcer. Although I grew up in a city with a Major League team, we didn't have anything like the Victoria Generals. How cool is it that we can see some of the best potential Major Leaguers play, right in our own back yard? How awesome would it be for a kid that loves baseball to get schooled from some great talent? That's what it's all about this Saturday at the Victoria Generals Summer Baseball Camp.
