Do you like baseball? Very few baseball fans make a career out of playing baseball, but you can still stay in the game. Here are a few ways you can do it:

Baseball Journalism: Write about baseball games and the latest rumors. You can also be the voice of the game.
Baseball Statistician: Keep track of game statistics
Baseball Marketing: Work with a team to market their brand
Baseball Photography: Capture those great shots of players hitting a home run or catching a fly ball over the fence

You can also coach a Little League team or work with a organization that uses baseball to help kids grow into better adults. And let’s not forget working with Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball, or one of the individual teams. You’ll need a degree and relevant experience (like internships) in a related field.
