Always the introduction first

I have loved baseball for as long as I can remember. Starting in the mid-90s my love for the sport became a sort of obsession and it took over my life. As a female fan, however I have always had to deal with the pre-conceived notion of Pink Hat fans . They make those of us that are actually knowledgeable about the sport want to throw up. 

I would have loved to play baseball, however I was born a female and without any athletic skill in the least. Growing up I played soccer but that ended in high school once those around me started to become  and I did not advance in skill in the least. Thus I was relegated to permanent fan status, or so I thought. 

I never dreamed about working in baseball as I never thought that it would be possible for me. This changed when I became an intern for a non-affiliated baseball team. I never had such a great summer in my life. I realized that I was good at what I was doing, and that I could possibly keep doing this in affiliated baseball. 

I applied to a lot of teams in various positions. I probably sent out about 75-100 of my resumes and only heard back from a very small handful of teams. In the end, I interviewed with two teams and got both jobs. My dream had come true. 

After I decided which team I wanted to work for, I gave my 2 weeks notice to my job, packed up, and moved far away from home, and I have never been happier with my decision. 

Please be sure to follow my twitter account where I will hopefully convey in 140 characters or less what my life is like in the minors as a Minor League Jane. I'll use this blog to discuss the bigger picture happenings so that I can really go into detail about everything. 

Living my life with love, happiness, and the pursuit of a baseball dream, 

Jane.
