2018 TRAVELS AND MLB DREAM JOB(S)
Hiromi is traveling to Japan again this summer to take care of family issues, This will make our third trip in twelve months and fifth round trip ticket. When Hiromi is in Japan, we decided it's best if we just stay in one spot this summer and have chosen to stay in Arizona. To keep myself busy and earn some extra cash I have applied for three jobs.
As a young boy growing up I always dreamed of working in sports. With a year off the road it was the perfect timing to apply for a job in baseball. One, at Goodyear Ball Park, the Spring Training home of the Indians and Reds. Two, Chase Field, home to the Diamond Backs. To my surprise, I was accepted to work at both stadiums this year. Along with the baseball games I also work event held in those stadiums (graduations, concerts and other events). Three, Amazon CamperForce.
I have volunteered at Goodyear Ball Park for two years and this year they were hiring so I applied. I ended up working 24 of the 29 games plus three set up days. Needless to say my spring training autographs were down from years past. But, I understood when I work I can't get autographs. There are event during the summer and I will be working them too
In January, I was looking for a seasonal or part time jobs in Arizona for the summer. I found Chase Field and applied. I got an interview date, but when Hiromi had to get her Green Card updated we had to drive back to Ohio. If I was meant to get this job I would get a call back. In February, I got the call back and was hired. At Chase Field I plan to work all 81 home games, but I'm sure as the long season goes on there might be a few days I will not be able to work.
Both jobs are great and I get paid to work in baseball. I could not dreamed of a better opportunity. Goodyear we got about 6,000 - 8,000 fan a game. Chase Field is a little more demanding as we get 30,0000 - 45,000 fans a game.
Both of us have been picked up to work at CamperForce Amazon Fulfillment Center in Murfreesboro, TN. When the Diamond Backs season concludes in October we will be heading to TN. This will make my fifth Peak and Hiromi's fourth Peak.
After our snowbird in 2019 (one year from now) we will be back on the road all summer for more adventures. Until then, my post will be of our adventures in Arizona in the summer with temperatures around 120 degrees.
