Best Jobs for Baseball Fans

Baseball is easily one of the greatest sports in the world — easily, and you can't fight me on this. It's also one of the most unique out of the rest simply because the concept behind it. And I know that baseball fans can agree with me on this.

Kind baseball fans definitely deserve to be working jobs that revolve around baseball, right? They're just so passionate and have so much knowledge about their favorite baseball teams, that they almost have to work in a field related to baseball.

What about you? Are you a diehard baseball fan who really wants to work in a career related to baseball? What baseball fan wouldn't? To get you started on a possible future career, here is a list of the best jobs for baseball fans that you may consider in the next step in life. Some of These jobs are perfect for retirees, too.

Sports Store

Sports stores, like Dick's Sporting Goods, is the prime place for any sports clothing, items, and anything else related to sports. For baseball fans, you guys know that this place literally has everything you need — from baseball bats, to baseballs and jerseys, this place is heaven on earth.

And for someone who's a huge baseball fan to work here is perfect. Not only do they have immense knowledge on which baseball bats and balls are the right ones, but their taste in jerseys will make your baseball jersey shopping a total breeze.

Batting Cages

Not only are the batting cages a great place to relieve stress, but to practice your batting skills. Anyone can go to the batting cages, but those who have skills in baseball really get a kick out of it. Constantly hitting, or even getting direct hits, sends straight adrenaline into your body. But how do you think baseball fans feel about working there?

The batting cages is definitely one of the best jobs for baseball fans. Supplying batters with their bats, giving batting tips and advice, and just being in that "baseball" atmosphere gets them hyped up go to to work. And you yourself can enjoy batting in the cages and ignite that inner baseball player in you.

Bullpen Catcher

This is where the true action comes into play. Being a bullpen catcher is certainly one of the best jobs for baseball fans. Why? Because you're catching the pitcher's warm up throws before the game! Whether you're working for a high school's baseball team or professionally, it's the perfect job for baseball fans.

Baseball Coach

What better job for a huge baseball fan than becoming a baseball coach for either high school or possibly a major league baseball team? Dreams can come true. But when it comes to teaching kids the ropes of baseball, your passion for the sport just flows out.

Young kids can really learn baseball through the knowledge of a big sports fan — which is why, obviously, that baseball fans should become coaches. You'll be able to show the fundamentals of baseball, and possibly lead these kids to become big baseball fans, too. Through how to properly throw a curveball to the balance when batting, a coach who's a diehard baseball fan is what every baseball coach is supposed to be.

Umpire

Just like a coach is one of the best jobs for baseball fans, becoming an umpire is an actual dream come true for hardcore baseball fans. Tell me which fan doesn't want to be an umpire for either a high school baseball games, or even major league baseball games?

Umpires are one among other important figures in baseball games who have all the knowledge of baseball — which makes sense why a baseball fan would want to work as one. To call strikes, outs, and fouls — I'm sure any baseball fan blurts these out to his/her television screen or at his/her kid's baseball games. Rather than yelling at your television screen, get into possibly becoming an umpire and live your dreams!

Sports Writer

This is the job for those verbal baseball fans who can't keep their thoughts to themselves. And I don't mean cursing, I mean boasting about certain baseball teams and who crushed an amazing homer or how much did the Yankees score. I'm sure certain people really don't care about how the Yankees did last night, but those who read sports media definitely want to know who won.

So, if you're a huge baseball fan who has a lot to say on games from the previous night, I definitely advise you to get into sports writing. Not only will it increase your knowledge and passion for the game, but you'll learn so much. You'll possibly even get readers loving your writing — all the more to get into sports writing.

Bullpen Catcher

This is where the true action comes into play. Being a bullpen catcher is certainly one of the best jobs for baseball fans. Why? Because you're catching the pitcher's warm up throws before the game! Whether you're working for a high school's baseball team or professionally, it's the perfect job for baseball fans.

Scoreboard Operator

For one of the best jobs for baseball fans, being a scoreboard operator is like watching a game... but getting front row seats every time. And you're responsible for putting in the scores — how awesome is that?

At every game you're getting fantastic seats throughout the whole game along with maintaining the score. This is one of the dream jobs baseball fans can ever hope to pursue. Whether it's for a high school game or major league baseball game, there's nothing bad about getting the perfect sight of a game and keeping tabs on the score.

So, should you choose a new career? Allow your baseball instincts to answer that for you.
