The ideal candidate will have a passion for and knowledge of baseball, an understanding of the Minor Leagues, a journalism background, strong writing skills and some experience working for an online media outlet. This is a part-time, seasonal position.

Primary responsibilities:

This would be a sweet gig to have. But what I'm not clear on is the location of the job. Do you need to live and work in New York City to do the job?

 

Candidates should be able to work in New York City, at least at the start of the baseball season.

 

Up to 32 hours a week? Does that mean this is part time with no/limited benefits?

 

Last sentence before primary responsibilities: "This is a part-time, seasonal position." Doubt benefits since it is seasonal.

 

Good catch by you. Bad job by me.
