WANTED: BASEBALL FAN

Location: Sitting on the couch in front of your TV, on your computer, in the stands
Career Category: Experienced professional
Full/Part Time: Full time, plus weekends, overnight travel and 24-7 on-call
Regular/Temporary: Regular

Responsibilities:
You will be responsible for putting 110% of your emotion into the game. If your team loses, be prepared to get in an argument with your significant other for being in a bad mood. You will be in charge of keeping track of the team all year round which includes the winter meetings, amateur draft, spring training and of course the regular and post season. You may need to sacrifice time during your day job to keep up with the latest rumors, injury reports, and box scores.

Do you enjoy spending thousands of dollars on tickets, hot dogs, alcoholic beverages, t-shirts, MLB.TV, and other souvenirs? If so... this position may be the right job for you! In return, you will receive compensation in the form of walk-off home runs, the smell of freshly cut grass, and the possibility of seeing yourself on ESPN. However, please be aware that you may also feel the following emotions throughout the year - depression, anger, hate, lack of self-worth, doubtfulness, and periods of extreme anxiety. If any of these feelings or emotions start to interfere with your daily life... get over it. It's part of the job.

Other responsibilities include but are not limited to: not being friends with any fans of your team's arch enemy, naming your child or pet after a player, stadium, or other piece of team history, holding out hope until your team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, developing a beer belly, and studying the top prospects within your organization.

Finally, you must be able to realize that although you must be completely invested - mentally, financially, and emotionally - into the team's success, you ultimately have absolutely no control over the team's fate.


Qualifications:
Proven dedication and experience as an obsessive fan (10+ years)
Season ticket holders, fans who have been arrested outside of the stadium, and those with fantasy baseball experience strongly desired
Time management (162 games is a long season), communication (so the ump's hear you), decision-making (Bud Lite or Miller Lite), problem-solving (the game is blacked out), and analytical (ERA, WHIP, OPS, etc.) skills required.

Backround Check Requirements:
Please be prepared for a in-home visit which will include wardrobe check, as well as proof of attendance -- ticket stubs preferred.

Note - New York Mets and Chicago Cubs fans need not apply.
