MLB Dream Job

So I haven't posted this on here until now (ha...I didn't want anyone else to know about it who didn't already), but Major League Baseball is looking for someone for what they call their 'Dream Job'. The idea is that they'll hire one person, set them up in an apartment New York City starting on Opening Day 2011 (March 31) and follow their experiences as they watch every game of the entire baseball season, blog about it, chat about it, and pretty much overdose on baseball until the playoffs are over in October. I've read a lot of people's opinions saying how this would be overkill and how they would go nuts after watching so much baseball literally every day for the whole summer. ha...I couldn't disagree more, though.

Needless to say, I applied for Major League Baseball's Dream Job.

Ever since I've applied my imagination has gone a little wild with how ridiculously awesome it would be to actually get selected. People toss around the phrase 'once in a lifetime experience', but honestly if this isn't exactly that then I'm not sure what is. I can genuinely say I'm at a point in my life where I would pack up to move to the Big City without hesitation...which isn't a bad thing! (ha...who needs an apartment?)

I know I'd have a great time with this job, too. I'm pretty sure anyone who knows me (slash who has talked to me, lived with me, partied with me) would know this would be about baseball, sure....but it would also be about having a kickass time living in the best city in the world in my 20's while living out a dream. I really think the goal is to have it be kind of like a reality show for baseball fans - it's got to have the baseball knowledge (check) along with that humor and reality aspect to keep people engaged (check). I'm thinking baseball meets reality meets Charlie Sheen.

Getting to the application process, it consisted of writing a few essays talking about why I'd be perfect for the job and who I thought would be winning the AL/NL MVP awards this season. I'll post those up here in the next few days. I also had to create a 2 minute video introducing myself, showing who I am, that I'm comfortable on camera, etc. I'll try to get that on here too....ha I think it was pretty good. Guess that experience as a POPS emcee in high school paid off. I had to talk about my past experience (as I write this, it hit me I never mentioned anything about any singing/acting/public speaking experience....damn) and I had to submit the link to this blog (if you're looking at this - What up Major League Baseball! Make the right decision and pick me!).

So that's about it. I'll be sure to update if I hear anything. In the meantime, leave some love...let me know if you think this is the right gig for me. Who knows, your comment might be the last piece to make MLB pick me!
