So this isn't a journalism opening but an interesting one nonetheless. $22.50 an hour to play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at all the home games sounds like one hell of a gig even if it's part-time.

If you have a background in music and can effectively play the keyboard, we want to hear from you today!

EOE.
