To be honest with you, if you don't know somebody that is already in the business its going to be next to impossible to land a job. That job is all about who you know not what you know, unfortunately.
Clubhouse managers literally get 100's of calls from people wanting to be bat boys and clubhouse attendants.

hey, i never said that you'd get the job by contacting the equip. manager but thats the only way i could think of (besides obviously knowing someone). I remember seeing something on TV a few years ago they had a story on a kid who was an Astros batboy in spring training and the way he got it was by contacting the equip. manager but of coarse thats spring training so i assume that'd be easier to get. Good luck Grubdy, its basically impossible but no hamr in trying

you basically do have to know somebody. I got hired on as a batboy for the Mariners this last season and it's because I knew somebody who worked for the Mariners. The other three batboys were hired because they knew another batboy, so it is basically an insider thing.

Start your own team and be the bat boy.

Bat Boy: My True-Life Adventures Coming of Age with the New York Yankees is an interesting behind-the-scenes first-person account of one guy's experience as batboy with the 1992-1993 Yankees.

That would be so awesome to be a bat boy for the Yanks. It will never happen though!

Contact the front office of your local team. Each one has a different procedure. The Class A team I work with, has the Clubhouser Manager choose his batboys. Also, each state has differerent age requirements. Good luck, Bob

Los Angeles Dodgers First Baseman Wes Parker came from a wealthy family. Parker was a fair-hiiting, slick-fielding player, who played nine years for the Dodgers. And with multi-million dollar salaries, I doubt there are ANY hungry players today. Bob
