MLB Dream Job

[Weimer]

It's not even realistically possible to do this "job" without having on multiple games at once and/or just watching clips or highlights of a lot of games.

Someone on another forum I go to did some rough math and you would need to watch baseball like 21 hours a day for the entire season to watch every game on just one TV. That's averaged out of course.

they call it a full-time job, so I am guessing you get paid like it's a full-time job.

This is my favorite part:

"I understand and agree that blood and/or urine tests may be conducted periodically during my employment to determine or rule out the presence of illegal substances and that positive test results may result in my dismissal or require appropriate evaluation and treatment under the Baseball Entity's employee assistance program and, as applicable, Major League Baseball's Drug Policy and Prevention Program. I release all Baseball Entities from any and all liability resulting from such tests, evaluations or treatment."

I was going to post that they had better be PROVIDING me with numerous illegal substances to make it through a year of this shat

Things to think about when filming

DISTANCE
Try not to be more than 10 feet away from the camera, as the sound will be too faint.

LIGHTING
Make sure the room in which you film is well-lit. Turn on some lights, as the camera will not see as much daylight as your eyes do.

FRAMING
Position yourself so that your head and shoulders/the upper half of your body fill the frame or viewfinder.

NOISE
Make sure you are in an environment where your voice will be audible. (IMPORTANT: You must turn OFF any music, TV radio, or other noises around you.)

Videos must be in ASAP, the sooner the better, but deadline is Tuesday March 1, 2011.

Thats my birthday LOL, I just posted it for you all becaus eof the deadline.

I got this message about submitting the video, but closed the wrong tab on my browser before copying the link to return to that page. Do you by any chance still have it? I would greatly appreciate it if you could post it or send it to me.

Thanks!
Tim

How can one possibly watch every MLB game in a season? Do they mean for one team (the Yankees)?

I am prety sure they mean every single game.

I am still looking for the part where the job is a dream.

unless there is some serious compensation, it just sounds like a hugely time-consuming pain in the ass

That's what I want to know. I'd apply if I got paid. No way I'm doing it for free.

They couldn't pay me enough to do that. That's no dream job. That's a nightmare. Additionally, you'd need a team of writers to write about that much baseball.

Pretty sure if I had to do this, my love for baseball would quickly turn to hatred.

I'm not sure if I could watch that many Bucs games... :|
