As someone who has worked 4 different side jobs in baseball like this, I have to say it’s amazing how few people there are who love baseball but for whatever reason don’t apply for stuff like this. My story is literally the scam you read in the comments sections. I make an extra $7,500 a year watching Major and Minor League Baseball games from inside the Press Box without a college education or a background which one would think would land you in an MLB Pressbox 50 games a year. You’d be amazed how few people actually apply for this kind of thing.
