Anyone want a full-time job watching MLB?

Check out this job posting from Major League Baseball.

I'd do it, but I'm too ugly. Sounds sweet though.

[Dank_Fire]

That sounds like a bad asss job

[VegasInsider]

That sounds great, but I'm not sure I'd be able to survive watching baseball all day, every day. You'd be living in NYC from April-October and you would have to be seated by 7pm every night to watch baseball. Forget about Saturday/Sunday, day games thru west coast games. Then there's always those pesky mid-week matinee games. I'd go nuts not being able to do other things.

[Jerm3462]

I like baseball, but damn thats a lot of games to watch.

[hubie69]

I freakin hate baseball, watching it, listening to it, I never bet it.

How much does this job pay? I did not see this on the page.

[KC]

Get paid to watch bases, can't beat that

[DeluxeLiner]

has anyone seen Brewster's Millions?

I doubt it pays very well at all. There are enough fans who would do something like that practically for free. They probably just supply you with a place to live and all the TV equipment then just give you some cash each month.

That kind of gig in this kind of economy doesn't need an added incentive of a high salary in order to get thousands of applicants to choose from.

Wow. APPLYING. Thanks OP.

Getting paid to watch a beautiful game.... life can't get any better.

Let's be cereal here...

To watch every SINGLE game and to be able to analyze them all plus blogging plus MLB mandated events, that's a lot of work, I would not be surprised they will pay you $50K and up with accomodation covered.

If you have a family, def not a good spot for ya. But for someone like me, WHOA. That's all haha.

[biff]

you can drink: do not have to pay me

can not drink: i wouldn't do it even if every bet i ever placed in my entire life won

i have already killed enough brain cells.

[spankie]

how is that even possible? watch every game of 2011?

[Jerm3462]

Maybe sit in a room with like 10 tvs? I dunno

[soxwin1917]

Applied. Time to quit the ol' 9-5.

[blackbeSSt]

and life won't be getting any better if you have to follow EVERY game, thats for sure. hope you don't have a social life

[daniele4]

watching baseball would be the most boring job

[Dad]

I could do it for football. Not baseball.

[Irish Lumberjack]

Sounds like a sweet gig to me

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

watching baseball would be the most boring job

I agree. Baseball is such a boring sport to watch on TV or live.

[Dirty Sanchez]

It's a 7 month gig....not a full-time job...don't be like LVBound and cash in all of your chips on a pipe dream knuckleheads

[smitch124]

I absolutely love baseball, but that's way too much of it for me

[yisman]

That is friggin' awesome. I'm thinking about it.

re: chimney

First you say it doesn't pay and then you say they give you some cash each month.

Of course it pays. How well, I couldn't say.

[robmpink]

This sounds more like hard time vs dream job. Watching every single game. Whoever wins will turn into an addict of coke, meth, or speed.

[beanbag]

too much time.. every single game.. no thanks

[james4512]

i could do it NBA NCAAB NCAAF NFL but i couldnt do it for one reason for MLB is because its the summer. Summer is just too fun too many things to do and being cooped up every night id kill myself

[FrozenMAN]

solid job....but i don't know if i could handle watching the fish all 182 games....i live and die with em

[Optional]

The right person could parlay the publicity they will be getting into something afterward.

[unusialsusp5]

obviously the job offer is an ad to subscribe to their mlb package. no one could possibly do it. it would be like chinese water torture even if you like the game. all those pitchers throws to 1st base you would have to watch. every pitchers every throw over. it would drive you insane by may. watching foul ball after foul ball. pitching changes. what about extra inning games you will end up screaming if a game is tied up in the ninth. what a joke that ad was.
