If you are a sports tragic, the real tragedy can be in trying to fit the events round a busy schedule.
After all, who in their right mind has a work agenda when its showing, live and exclusive… and, you think people work in sports for the money!
Speaking of the currency of choice, it reads like it could be reasonable, as the favourite past-time of the US, Major League Baseball, launches a new idea for season 2011.
If you know Baseball, the culture of relishing the minutiae is nowhere better underscored, than here, in a sporting context. In this season, this type of commitment and pleasure, that is the domain of the fan, will be taken to a whole new level.
Read what I mean —>
Fulfilling every baseball fan’s dream, two men were drafted by Major League Baseball on Wednesday to watch all 2,430 regular-season games, beating out 10,000 applicants for the job.
Mike O’Hara, a punk rocker, and Ryan Wagner, a former actor, will be holed up in MLB’s “Fan Cave,” a shrine to fandom built in the old Tower Records building in Manhattan, in front of 15 flat-screen televisions.
As they watch the games starting on Thursday, O’Hara will tweet their thoughts, be interviewed by MLB sportscasters, have daily adventures chronicled in online videos and will update the world on their exploits through social media. Both men won the job after submitting video clips and writing samples along with interviews with network executives and on-air talent.
Take me out to the Ball Game, indeed!
MLB; using the context of the Fan and the vehicle of Social Media to take the perspective of this sporting past-time to another level.
Nothing says ‘World Series’ for the fan like watching every fixture!
Do I need to ask if you could handle this? Remember, this is your job. Work Hard.
McCawesomeness!
Until Next Time
