Sounds good, but I work in Mobile, AL for their AA affiliate, lol.
And thanks guys! So far I've worked 4 days and had 3 tarp pulls due to rain.
Yesterday I worked from 9AM to 11PM. I can honestly say that unless you want to make your career in baseball front office type stuff, or if you just love baseball you don't care about pay, don't get a job working for a minor league baseball team. Here's a list of the things I've had to do:
1) Pull tarp. This is exhausting and you do it in the rain so you get soaked and need to bring a change of clothes each game day
2) Clean windows in the press box
3) Answer phones and take ticket orders
4) Toss trash. I did that tonight. At it wasn't a few bags, it was bags left over from the weekend. There were about 60 of them sitting outside the dumpster because the dumpster was full this morning, then they emptied it and we had to fill it back up again.
5) Fold hundreds of score cards
That's all I've really had to do so far... but yeah, it's exhausting grunt work for the most part, but my actual job, the video taping of the teams pitchers and batters and logging the game is awesome. And hell, I even like the tarp pull, it's like free exercise. It rocks. I love it, but if you're not interested in this kind of stuff, or baseball in particular, don't do it. The pay is weak. I only get paid $800 a month for this, on average. I've worked 40 hours over the past 4 days, if they ave a weekly homestand I'll end up working 70 hours easy, and they don't pay you hourly or overtime. So yeah, it's tough work. If you don't have a passion for baseball don't bother.
