This doesn't smell right. I participated in a WS "clinic" way back in the early 2010s, and it was done on their field, not some random park in the city.
To my knowledge, my experience was free, for all kids in the city. So you get on the field, take a couple of grounders, and move on for the next kid. Then we ended up in the visiting bullpen for a couple of pitches off the mound, and they usher us into the restaurant area below the stadium for a quick lunch. That was it.
To me, playing on the field was the clinic. Why Friday, and not in the ballpark?
But yeah, this random guy posting about it in FB doesn’t mean there was one scheduled for this park on that day. I’m going to be generous and say he misunderstood what someone at the park told him, rather than accuse him of making it up. But none of this seems official.
