“I’m looking forward to both,” said Dickerson. “Its always an honor to have your jersey retired. Its also rewarding working with kids and teaching them some of the things I’ve learned from BA to the pros.”

Other MLB players will assist Dickerson with the camp, as well as MLB scouts and college coaches. Campers can pre-register at Stewarts Sports in Brookhaven or sign up on the day of camp between 9 and 10 a.m. at the BA baseball field.
