My Fox - Starting Thursday, he will be holed up in MLB's "Fan Cave," a shrine to fandom built in the old Tower Records building in Manhattan, in front of 15 flat-screen televisions. As he watches the games, he will tweet his thoughts, be interviewed by MLB sportscasters, and have his daily adventures chronicled in online videos. As of Tuesday, O'Hara, 37, said he still had a girlfriend. Fortunately for him, he will not have to live in the 15,000-square-foot Fan Cave or subsist on a diet of stadium food..."I don't want to end up two sizes larger by the end of the season," he said. MLB officials would not say how much O'Hara is being paid, but said his salary falls between that of a batboy and baseball's league minimum of $400,000.
I love baseball, love the redsox, eat up sportscenter highlights, I’d kill myself before I let someone pay me to watch every game possible. Kill myself.
Baseball is a great game, but when it goes bad, it goes really bad. The 45 minute innings with a pitcher that can’t get an out. The 5 hour games because each teams manager convenes a circle jerk at the mound any time a pitcher throws more than 2 balls in a row late in the game. Yankees fans. Joe buck and Tim Mccarver. These are all things I hate. And I haven’t even mentioned the pain and suffering of having to watch American league central or NL central games. Sorry middle America, even your sports teams are boring and insufferable, much like your farm filled region.
Kudos to these guys if they make it through it, but I just wouldn’t be surprised if this ended in some kind of bizarre murder suicide plot they’ll be dissecting Real Sports HBO. Bryant Gumbel would eat that up...I swear that's not a fat joke.
