No. My favorite sport is baseball. I played up until high school. My dream was to at least make it yo the minors and see what I could do from there. Still watch baseball and have been collecting baseball cards since childhood

Just do whatever non-baseball job you do for the baseball team. If you're an accountant, be an accountant for the nearest MILB affiliate. After a few years of hard work you can move up and maybe crunch numbers in the show.

Interestingly enough, Eisenhower also wanted to play baseball. Instead, his consolation prize was becoming a 5-star general and POTUS.

I actually learned about that fairly recently on the show Mike Rowe does called story behind the story. In the Air Force I read about his military career along with the other 4 star generals in WW2.

I liked to read biographies of US Presidents during my own time in middle school, which is how I knew that tidbit.

There was another story of how Eisenhower shared his baseball dream with a childhood friend who wanted to be President. Amusingly, neither of them got their wish.
