Get a job in baseball

If I were a rich man ....

... I would take a part-time seasonal job working for a big-league ballclub. Seriously, for those of you who inherited a lot of money, invented the Pet Rock, or won a big lawsuit and don't really have to work full-time, there are a lot of pretty cool jobs for baseball geeks in Major League Baseball.

There is the the Stats Stringer who is "responsible for digitally scoring games from one of the 30 MLB ballparks." You could also apply to become a Pitch f/x operator, and track "every pitched baseball, calculating its trajectory and break, for television broadcast, Internet and stadium video production."

And the coolest sounding job to me: become a beat reporter for mlb.com. This would include travelling with the team. There are seriously a lot of jobs out there for smart rich people with a four-year degree and an obsession with baseball.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
