2009 Tacoma Rainiers Baseball Camp

Tacoma Rainiers skipper Daren Brown ran a tight ship during camp this year. He came around to all the different stations and gave the campers lots of instruction and advice. Coach was even nice enough to pose for pictures. Too bad he was seated right in front of the restrooms.

Here Colin is with player Calix Crabbe, who was so popular he had a sandwich named after him at Cheney Stadium - the Crabbe Sandwich. Although popular no more, as he was recently sent down to the Mariners AA farm team the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. Bummer! What's even more funny is that Colin skipped getting a picture with pitcher Doug Fister, who this very night I blog is debuting as a Mariner starting pitcher. Doh! I did, however, get a picture of Fister goofing off with some of his teammates. Yes, that's him with the glove on his head.

At camp, the actual coaches and players run the activity stations. The pitching station, led by pitching coach Dwight Bernard, was one of his favorites. But, I do vaguely remember Colin telling me the batting stations were his favorite too.
