The Kelly Gruber Silver Slugger Baseball Camp will return on July 14 and July 15. The camp is hosted by Clinton Minor Baseball and according to organizers, "provides a great opportu- nity for our region to grow and promote the great game of baseball." Organizers said in a press release that approximately 100 boys and girls from Huron, Bruce, Perth, Mid- dlesex and Lambton coun- ties attended the baseball camp in 2013. The camp is intended for children aged 10 to 17 and registration can be done online at www.gruberbase- ball.com. Doug Jones, director of Gruber's baseball camps, said this year they will wel- come former Montreal Expo pitcher "Spaceman" Bill Lee, who became the oldest per- son to play in a pro game last year, and fellow former MLBer Scott Bullett as two of the coaches. Several players who have been coached by Bullett will be helping out as well. Jones said they had a great time in Clinton last year and the community really sup- ported them. In a press release, Gruber echoed those sentiments. "We are very excited to return to Clinton this sum- mer to run the Kelly Gruber Silver Slugger baseball camp. We received such a warm welcome last year and instantly felt like part of the community. People always think that it is all about bringing baseball to the communities that we visit but for us it is also about the experiences we have while visiting and the relationships we form with the coaches, players and the commu- nity. It is important for us to come back and see these people and see how they have developed over the year and to help them develop further. Can't wait to be back." The cost of the camp is $60, which is half of the nor- mal cost due to Huron -Bruce MPP Ben Lobb lining up a number of sponsors, Jones said. Spots are going quickly though, he said, as they have filled about 50 already. Brad Thompson of Clinton Minor Baseball said it was "a positive experience for the kids and amazing to see 100 of them playing baseball on the diamonds in Clinton last year."
