Florida Marlins player stops by Bucky Dent Baseball School

Florida Marlins first baseman Jorge Cantu stopped by Bucky Dent's Baseball School and was happy to see his jersey out in the field.

The Bucky Dent Baseball School opened its summer camp season with a home run when guest instructor Jorge Cantu, a member of the Florida Marlins Major League Baseball Club, stopped by to speak to campers. Cantu, on a short break during the ball club’s 162 game regular season schedule, stopped by the Bucky Dent Baseball School at 490 Dotterel Road in Delray Beach to speak to all 155 campers.
“All 154 boys and one girl, listened as the major leaguer told them about the importance of working hard every day they are on the field. Cantu said he wants to encourage younger kids by his example. He told them his favorite food is pizza. Cantu answered questions, posed for pictures and signed autographs,” Bucky Dent Baseball School General Manager Larry Hoskin said.
Later this summer Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla and left fielder Jeremy Hermida will visit.
For 35 years the The Bucky Dent Baseball School year has operated in Delray Beach. It will be hosting camps for players ages 5-18 through Aug. 16.
