The New York Yankees today announced the participation of Laura and Jorge Posada at their third annual Women’s Mini-Fantasy Camp at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla., from January 17-20, 2013.

Posada, a five-time All-Star and five-time World Champion, will participate as an instructor and coach alongside his wife Laura, who will take part as a camper. Other husband and wife participants will include David and Nina Wells and Homer and Monica Bush.

Introduced in 2011, the Women’s Mini-Fantasy Camp is held at George M. Steinbrenner Field each January and provides participants an opportunity to dress in pinstripes and live the life of a New York Yankees player. Participants receive an authentic experience which includes an individual clubhouse locker and nameplate, a full Yankees uniform, supervision from the athletic training staff, access to the big league fields and full clubhouse service.

In each of its first two years, the Women’s Camp experienced sellout numbers with the participation of former players like Tino Martinez, Bucky Dent, Mickey Rivers, Homer Bush, and David Wells. Other organizational participants have included Yankees General Partner and Vice Chairperson Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal, and Senior Vice President/Assistant General Manager Jean Afterman. Diana Munson and Helen Hunter, widows of former player Thurman Munson and Jim “Catfish” Hunter, respectively, have also contributed.
