While I was perusing the internet I bumped into the MLB Dream Job advertisement and here I am starting my a campaign as to why I am the best person for the job. I could submit my resume and see what happens and that piece of paper would be in a pile with a lot of other pieces of paper. There will be thousands of applicants and the only way to get the job will be to find a way to impress MLB with the skills I already possess.
That is exactly what I hope to do with this blog. The job description can be found on the page I linked above, but essentially what they are looking for is someone who can do two things: 1) Be baseball's ultimate fan by watching every game of the season. 2) Connect with other people through media.
Readers of this blog may think I am turning a bit egotistical to try to draw all this attention to myself. I can assure each and every one of you that I have two feet on the ground. There is just no way to get a position like this without putting myself out there and trying to do something unique. Perhaps I get the job through this effort. Perhaps I do not. I have nothing to lose.
Now it is up to me to explain why I am the best person to get paid to watch every MLB game this season and write about it. Consider this blog a really, really long cover letter. This should be entertaining.
