    MY DREAM JOB

    I would treasure every moment on the


    baseball field
    My dream job would be becoming a professional
    baseball player. I grew up playing little league
    baseball. I was never the best player on the team;
    yet, playing baseball was something I would look forward to doing
    everyday and just have fun doing it. I havent played baseball in
    seven years. I really miss the times when I would just have that happy
    feeling when my dad would drive up to the park, when I would get a
    base hit, when I would catch a fly ball, or just the fact that I was part
    of a team.
    So many baseball players these days take their jobs for granted. Many
    play baseball not just because theyre good at it, but because of the
    money. Alex Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract for the Texas
    Rangers in 2000. Anybody in the entire world would love to be in his
    shoes. After all, what would you do with $252 million? For myself, I
    would love to be in Alex Rodriguezs shoes, not because of the money,
    not because of the fame, but because if I were in his shoes, I would
    just treasure every moment of every second that I am on that field. I
    would treasure every step I take in the dirt of such legendary baseball
    parks like Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium and Wrigley
    Field. I would treasure every moment I get to spend in the same
    vicinity of such future Hall-of-Famers like Barry Bonds, Randy Johnson,
    Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens.
    I would feel like the luckiest person alive every time I am reminded
    that I am living the dream, a dream that many people like myself
    would die to get the chance to do. Twenty-five lucky people for each
    team get the honor to say to the whole world that they play baseball
    as a living ad support their families. I would give anything for the
    chance at becoming one of them. Yes, baseball players do make a
    great deal of money and more money than anyone could possibly

    imagine. But if you do give me the opportunity to be a professional


    baseball player, you wouldnt have to pay me a single cent.
    I
