Jerry Lewis, Detroit Tigers Director of Fantasy Camps, said the batting practice would make a great Father’s Day gift for dads to relive their childhood baseball fantasies. 

“To hit off a former Tigers pitcher is the ultimate fantasy experience, especially under the lights in a major league ballpark,” Lewis said.

I take it the fantasy camp didn't go well for you (for those who don't know, Jerry Lewis runs the fantasy camp for the Tigers, and should not be confused with the "flaven!" in the movies).
