Hammock, father bond at 2018 Fantasy Camp

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It was time for the rookie participants in the D-backs' 13th annual Fantasy Camp to introduce themselves and Robby Hammock, one of the camp's coaches, was nervous.

The popular former D-backs catcher was sweating out what one of the first-year participants might say.

"It was a little bizarre," Hammock said. "I was on edge at first. Just didn't want him to do something stupid or say something stupid so I prepped him ahead of time. I said, 'You're a rookie; just keep your mouth shut.'"

Hammock need not have worried. His father, Dennis, quickly became a camp favorite thanks to his good nature and humor.
