Your new full-time job will be to literally follow baseball non-stop, as you will be charged with watching every single game of the 2011 season, blogging about all your thoughts and opinions, and discussing the hottest topics in baseball.

Applications closed last night at midnight. The project has received over 5,000 submissions since the online application was posted Feb. 17, according to The Hollywood Reporter
