contact your favorite teams equipment manager"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination."

To be honest with you, if you don't know somebody that is already in the business its going to be next to impossible to land a job. That job is all about who you know not what you know, unfortunately.
Clubhouse managers literally get 100's of calls from people wanting to be bat boys and clubhouse attendants.Comment

Wait for the Sequel.
Isn't that revealed in the new Batman movie?In the 1920's, Harry Heilmann led the AL with a .364 average. In addition, he averaged 220 hits, 45 doubles, 12 triples, 16 homers, 110 runs, and 130 RBI.Comment

hey, i never said that you'd get the job by contacting the equip. manager but thats the only way i could think of (besides obviously knowing someone). I remember seeing something on TV a few years ago they had a story on a kid who was an Astros batboy in spring training and the way he got it was by contacting the equip. manager but of coarse thats spring training so i assume that'd be easier to get. Good luck Grubdy, its basically impossible but no hamr in trying"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination."

you basically do have to know somebody. I got hired on as a batboy for the Mariners this last season and it's because I knew somebody who worked for the Mariners. The other three batboys were hired because they knew another batboy, so it is basically an insider thing.Comment

Start your own team and be the bat boy.(fantasy football)
JM: Only did that for a couple of years and then we had a conspiracy so it kind of turned me sour. Our league's commissioner, Lew Ford(notes) at the time, was doing some shady things that ... I'd rather not talk about [laughs].
DB: Isn't he in Japan right now?
JM: I don't know where Lou is right now. He's probably fleeing the authorities [laughs].Comment

Bat Boy: My True-Life Adventures Coming of Age with the New York Yankees is an interesting behind-the-scenes first-person account of one guy's experience as batboy with the 1992-1993 Yankees.
Please help. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last summer, and now I'm in a position where I need financial assistance. For the full story, please check out my GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/3874ea2d. Thank you.Comment

the STL Carindals are hiring scorekeepers, if your looking for a job inside the league, you might have some luck here. You have to know how to operate a computer fairly well though, and type rather quicklyComment

That would be so awesome to be a bat boy for the Yanks. It will never happen though!

You have my HOF vote and good luck in the future now that you have retired. Thanks for the wins you gave the Yanks from 2001-2008. Have an enjoyable retirement.Comment

I can't. I'm going to be 76 when the season starts.Originally posted by J Grundy#12 View Post
Contact the front office of your local team. Each one has a different procedure. The Class A team I work with, has the Clubhouser Manager choose his batboys. Also, each state has differerent age requirements.
Good luck,

Yankee Stadium Wear Dreams Come TrueOriginally posted by J Grundy#12 View Post
How does one 'wear' a dream?

Not true. Los Angeles Dodgers First Baseman Wes Parker came from a wealthy family. Parker was a fair-hiiting, slick-fielding player, who played nine years for the Dodgers.
And with multi-million dollar salaries, I doubt there are ANY hungry players today.
