First Pitch Arizona
WHY OUR ATTENDEES KEEP COMING BACK, YEAR AFTER YEAR...
"First Pitch Arizona is a lot of fun, and a great way to meet fellow baseball fanatics. There's nothing like a room full of diamond maniacs throwing tough questions at you rapid-fire to keep your mind sharp."
- John Sickels, MinorLeagueBall.com
"As someone who plays both fantasy and Strat-O-Matic baseball, I found the seminars fun and informative. Many of the games were sparsely attended -- less than 100 fans. That has its pluses, namely second row seats behind home plate for every game. Throw in a group of great fans shooting the breeze about everything from Drew Henson's future to the merits of Damion Easley bobblehead dolls and you get a great time had by all."
- Jonah Keri, Baseball Prospectus
"I heard no fewer than three people on cell phones saying, roughly, "Honey, I'm at the ballpark watching a game with 20 of my best friends. This is my favorite time of year."
- J.Paley, Redwood City CA
"Baseball after the World Series! Temps in the high 80s! After 10 years, many of the regulars are friends, so this is as much a social event as an informational one."
- R.Miller, Oakland CA
"I enjoyed the opportunity to hear other people's opinions and put faces on the names. The amount of information was terrific, everybody was friendly and approachable. I had a great time and would do it again."
- H.Goodman, Parkland FL
"The general wealth and depth of knowledge of not only the panelists, but attendees as well, was amazing. I'm a first-time attendee and am exptremely impressed with the content and quality of the information."
- B.DeMent, Glen Ellyn IL
"The information about prospects and young major leaguer players is invaluable. I love the chance to compare my opinions to those of the experts. Rick Wilton's injury report is really the only place to separate the truth from rumors. I come every year and I plan to be back next year."
- H.Wallace, Pittsburgh PA
"This symposium continues to offer the most intensive informational experieince for the fantasy baseball fan."
- R.Weddle, Henderson NV
"There is a wonderful camaraderie here that extends from fellow first-timers, the seasoned veterans and especially the speakers, who talked to us one-on-one. The best 3 days between the World Series and Spring Training."
- G.Cowham, Ramseur NC
"It's great to see and talk to people you read on a daily basis during the season. The symposium has gotten better every year. There is no better value when it comes to fantasy baseball information."
- M.Spray, Huntsville AL
"Great facilities, excellent discussion of minor leaguers, enjoyed panel discussion because it allowed difference of opinions on players, and enjoyed Q&A since it targeted players you are interested in."
- B.Reid, Omaha NE
"I enjoyed the session, but the best part was the atmosphere and being around so many knowledgable baseball people. Andy Andres did a masterful job of shedding light on a topic -- steroids -- that is the subject of hysteria in the media. Matthew Berry was a hoot on 2005 surprises. Kimball Crossley's insights were out of sight!"
- T.Fox, Louisville KY
"There is more cutting edge information discussed at this symposium than you can get by tapping into and archiving 2 dozen web sites and a dozen fantasy baseball books."
- J.Dressel, Palatine IL
"I was in two leagues and had two second place finishes. What I learn at this event each year helps me get there."
- B.Price, Jacobus PA

- B.Sank, Baldwin MD
