The Best Job In the World

The best job in the world is out there on the table and to this point has yet to be accepted.

Here are the perks of the job:

1) A Hefty Multimillion dollar salary.
2) Work outside, in nice weather, or inside when the weather is either too hot or rainy.
3) Only work for 4 months of the year, possibly 5 for more money of course.
4) Only have to work once every five days, and only need to travel with your organization if the travel falls within your scheduled work day.
5) Have an opportunity to work with your son for the last month of your short work year.

Only one man in the world has been gifted this offer and that man is Roger Clemens. Just think about what your ideal working conditions would be. Think of why you may enjoy or dislike your job.

For every family oriented person, Clemens has that lined up. In September his son, a catcher in Astros organization, will be called up and Clemens will pitch to his son in atleast a few innings. How much did you enjoy when you were a kid setting up in the backyard and playing catch with your pops? Could you imagine that being part of your job?

For people that work in an office, how agonizing is it on a beautiful day to look outside and think to yourself wow, I'm stuck in here for 8 hours. I could be outside playing golf or going to the beach. Well, Roger doesn't have to worry about these great weather days he works outside.

For people that work outside, how miserable is it when it is raining on you and you are soaked and you have to work through it, or those blisteringly sunny days where the sweat drenches you all day long. Roger doesn't have to worry about that, Minute Maid Park has a retractable roof and nice AC to take care of that.

Oh and there's more. Every 5th day that's it. He works then he gets 4 days off. Sure he has to go to the stadium on those other days, but how many baseball fans out there would love to get that view everyday from the dugout. Dugout life is what makes baseball the game it is. Think of how much you enjoy your softball games, and how you enjoy going even if you're only going to be an Extra Hitter that day and not even play the field. This is what Clemens does, he works every fifth day, and hangs out with his buddies at the ball park on the others. In addition if the team travels, and he's not schedule to throw, ya he gets to stay home. I certainly would love clauses in my job where on certain occasions I wouldn't have to go to work at all because my other co-workers had to travel.

In addition Roger Clemens is being offered 4 million dollars a month. 4 million dollars just think about that for a second. Most people on this planet will never see 4 million dollars in their lives, Roger Clemens is going to make 4 million dollars for every six days he goes into work. Is that even fathomable for a normal run of the mill worker? What would you do with 4 million dollars? I have no idea what I would do. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about any of the debts you may have that weigh you down, and you certainly wouldn't have to think twice whether you could afford going out to the bar on a friday night, or that vacation you wanted.

Oh and speaking of vacation time. Roger has 7 months of vacation time, where all he has to do is go to the gym and work out. Forget that 2 week vacation time you are working with now, how about 7 months. Just think about what you could do with 7 months vacation time, and millions of dollars to spend. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about whether you should or shouldn't take a half day on a friday.

So Roger do us all a favor, sign the contract and get started in what is by far the best job on the planet.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
