Question

my mom really wants me to try out for the baseball team. It is a bunch of politics, and the circumstances make it very difficult to make the team for me.

Can I pursue my dream to be a play-by-play broadcaster for an MLB team without college, or even high school baseball experience???

Answer 1

Sure you can.  You don&#039;t have to be a player or sports major in college or anything like that, you just have to be GOOD.  I mean really good!  There are very few jobs for play-by-play announcers and it&#039;s something many many people want to do.

Sometimes they will hire an experienced sports figure to do &#039;color&#039;, to explain stuff from the player&#039;s point of view.  But these people, if they have any talent at all, they are never the play-by-play announcer, they are just helping him.  Play-by-play is actually very difficult, and few people do it really well.

Answer 2

yes i have a degree in broadcasting. does that mean you have a job for me??
