So what's your dream job? If you were financially independent but chose to go to work anyway, what would you do? I would be a minor league baseball owner!
Why? Well, I could be around a game I love regularly and run a small business. Being at the ball park is awesome. And I'm assuming (since I never have actually spoken with anyone who could confirm this) that you don't have to deal with ego-maniacs as players. I believe most players in the game at the minor league level are in it "for the love of the game". Surely it's not for the money right?
I also think I would be pretty good at this job. Hiring a good general manager, coming up with creative marketing to get families out to the ball park. And being sure they have fun. If you go to a minor league game you get so much closer to the game, to the players, and you can do so without spending a fortune. Now that's a value proposition.
If I had contact with a few players who "made it big" that would be cream. Von Hayes? Now there's a great memory. Surely I would run into a few hidden gems of baseball players if I did it long enough right?
So what's your dream job? If you say it's your current job I'm going to call you out. Hold the cheese. The only cheese allowed attached to this post is me. That's another element of my dream job I would love, I would be "the big cheese".
Ok, so let me hear what you've got.
I'll bet there are 4-6 players on the Kernels (single A mind you) that received signing bonuses of $500K or more. You think a 19 year old kid with a half a mil in his pocket doesn't have an ego? Dream job with emphasis on the word dream...
