Baseball fan will get paid to watch all 2,430 regular season games

By juan

I think we all dream of being paid for doing something we love, playing baseball, writing about baseball or being a baseball broadcaster to name a few. But what about getting paid for just watching baseball games?

Apparently, a lucky aspiring actor named Mike O’Hara, was drafted by Major League Baseball to watch all 2,430 regular season games reports Jeremy Olshan of the New York Post. O’Hara beat out 10,000 other applicants for the job.

His task appears to be simple enough, he’ll be holed up in MLB’s “Fan Cave,” in front of 15 flat-screen televisions so he can watch baseball all day long. While watching the games he’ll tweet his thoughts, will be interviewed by MLB sportscasters, and will have his daily adventures chronicled in online videos.

MLB officials wouldn’t say how much O’Hara is being paid, but it’ll be in the range of a batboy salary and the league minimum.
