Who peed in your cheerios?

 

When I uploaded it it wasn't yet on Cubs.com

 

I didn't bother to check, sorry (I guess)

 

EDIT: It's still not on Cubs.com

You should be able to see me in that video. I'm the moron in the white shirt, front row, turning around to face the field. The ball went almost right over my head. I turned around and gawked because the way the fans reacted i thought it was coming straight for me. Luckily it sailed over me by a good margin. The video is just such poor quality that everything is really blurry.

Roast, what do you do for the Cubs?

 

I'm sure it's been asked, but I'm dumb and lazy.

Crowd Control

 

I was standing against the wall, facing the fans, in the isle that the HR flew right over. I turned around as soon as i heard the crack of the bat and saw the fans in my section get wide-eyed. I knew it was coming my way and I didn't want to get hit by a line-drive. Then I realized I would probably look like a clown in the replay - luckily for me you can't tell who i am in that video thanks to it being so blurry.

Applied.

 

You can pick up applications at Gate K over the offseason (when they have it staffed - which is usually year round) or you can attend the job fair they have every year. Or you can do both like I did. I also sent in my resume through a contact I have at vineline.

 

The easiest way to go about it is the Job Fair though.

Camera caught me just in time to see me turning around to watch the ball fly over my head. Thank god - because the look before that was one of pure confusion.

if you squint hard enough you can make out the fanny pack too

You have amazing eyes, rocket, you can see into the PAST!

 

(I didn't wear my fanny pack today. Come to find out, it's not actually mandatory like they originally claimed it to be. Yay!)

Yah, I was. They're the ones provided by wrigley.

How many games do you do? Can you watch the game, are are you told to constantly looking to see if there is trouble?

You can do every home game. But because of constraints of my school schedule I have to miss a couple - I'm doing something like 73 of the games.

 

And it really depends on where I'm working. If I'm at a gate doing bag-check I don't see a single pitch. But that only happened to me once. Since then i've been in bleachers. In bleachers I have to stay facing the fans but nobody really gets upset if I look over my shoulder for important pitches. 3-2 counts, 2 outs, bases loaded, etc. As long as I dont stay turned around. Now, if I'm in the grandstands then I walk up and down the isles all game. And so when i'm walking down towards the field I can watch. Then if I'm really lucky I'll get an on-field job one day. But that, obviously, is usually reserved for vets.

 

I'll probably be in bleachers all year though since I'm big and apparently have done a real good job there thus far.
