Sean Helps The Economy

(If you're looking for the Elite Eight round of the Best Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament, please scroll down to the next post.)

It's a tough economy out there these days. The unemployment rate remains high, and gas prices will likely increase significantly due to unrest in the Middle East. Therefore, I thought I would do my part to help those of you looking for jobs.

Partner Activation Specialist (Part-time) - Pittsburgh Pirates (Pittsburgh, PA)

You may have the opportunity to meet new Pirates Kevin Correia AND Lyle Overbay!

Firestarters In-Game Entertainment Crew - Chicago Fire Soccer Club (Bridgeview, IL)

This is the job the band Prodigy envisioned when it wrote this song 15 years ago.



New York Mets Pepsi Party Patrol 2011 - New York Mets (Flushing, NY)

Don't even think about applying if you prefer Coke over Pepsi.

Promotions and Entertainment Manager - The New York Mets / The Brooklyn Cyclones (Brooklyn, NY)

I love any job in which the position description starts with this:

The Brooklyn Cyclones, the brains behind nationally acclaimed promotional ideas like “Jersey? Sure! Night,” “The Baracklyn Cyclones” and “Christina Aguilera Do-Over Night” are currently hiring a Promotions and Entertainment Manager for the 2011 season.

Usher - Kansas City Royals (Kansas City, MO)

You can impersonate the pop superstar during every Royals home game. YEAH!



Adult Soccer Blogger - FC Dallas and Pizza Hut Park (Frisco, TX)

Sadly, this blog is not eligible for the best Pittsburgh sports blog tournament.

2011 Promo Team, Major Molly's Army - Philadelphia Union (Philadelphia, PA)

It's probably not a good sign when the job description begins with an explanation about the story of Molly Pitcher.

D-backs Legends Racing Mascots - Arizona Diamondbacks (Phoenix, AZ)

We already have racing Presidents in Washington, racing pierogis in Pittsburgh and racing sausages in Milwaukee, so naturally, racing D-backs legends makes perfect sense for a franchise that started in 1998. I can't wait to see mascot Craig Counsell race the real Craig Counsell!

Portland Timbers Street Team - Portland Timbers (Portland, OR)

People walking the streets of Portland with axes can't turn out well.

Clubhouse Manager - Washington Wild Things (Washington, PA)

I don't think I have anything witty to say here. Oh, how about this position also gives you control over the intersection of Interstates 70 & 79?
