Dream job?

I've been subscribing to the MLB job alerts for about four years now, continuously holding out for a job description along the lines of: "Brian Cashman is looking for a cute Ivy League grad to offer insightful statistical analysis in an effort to avoid future Weaver-esque mistakes." However, all the jobs that come through have been in the marketing/sales category, for some middle-of-nowhere club in the Midwest.

But today I got the very first job listing for a New York team. And above all, it's an IT job. The Yankees are looking to hire a programmer, with experience in SQL, Unix/Perl scripting, ASP, C++, .Net, and Java. I don't think that this is a stat-head kind of job, nor does it look like anything that I could or would want to do. But it's certainly a very sweet opportunity for somebody who doesn't mind writing ASP all day.

that's almost what my personal ads sound like, minus the "brian cashman" part.

hey... not sure if you're really looking, but I'll call your attention to my blog entry for yesterday:

...and the one from my work blog from last year:

...mlb.com is headquartered in manhattan, and needs good sysadmin types, badly.

Those mlb job alerts don't actually list the jobs at MLB... just the backwater teams :)
