Double A's former teammate, Donna Dooley, talks about her favorite week of the year - camp week. What keeps these campers coming back to this camp every year? Donna talks about that and her experience under the night lights at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers! 

A note from Double-A about this episode:

If you are wondering why Bull Durham is realistic, it's because there are women like Susan Surrandon's character in real life who pick a ballplayer every season. Baseball groupies are real. But I didn't want to repeat that story on Donna's episode!
