Play ball, New Jersey! Spring training is now underway with opening day right around the corner. Before you know it, we'll be back at the stadiums cheering on our beloved teams.

With that said, it's important to pay attention to what's coming up, especially for kids who are huge fans of America's favorite pastime. And if your kids are fans of New Jersey's local teams, it just makes it that much better.

Now sure, New Jersey doesn't have a major league team of its own, but we do have three great teams just across the river. On the other side of the Delaware are the Philadelphia Phillies, and just across the Hudson (OK, maybe not just across, but you get the point) are the New York Mets and the New York Yankees.

And if your kids are fans of the New York Yankees, then what's about to come to New Jersey will 100% excite them. The Yankees are bringing their youth summer baseball camp to New Jersey.

Not just for one, but five opportunities spread throughout the Great Garden State. How amazing is that? This is on top of the camps already being held in New York and Connecticut.

According to mlb.com, "This year's curriculum will focus on fast-paced competition, gamification of drills, and an emphasis on creating a fun and energized experience for all players." Players will also be broken down into different age groups to ensure an amazing experience for everyone who participates.

With so many trends of the 1990's back in style, it's a great time to look back at a strong foundation of 80's and 90's culture — New Jersey mall shopping. Some stores were a highlight, every trip.
