Emcee wanted ...
Continuing our series of classified ads for the Rays, the team said today it is looking for an emcee.
Rusty Kath, who handled the duties last season and turned it into a spotlight role, will be back but on a limited schedule, so technically, the Rays are looking for a "co-host" to split the duties.
Here are the details, from the team release:
Talented hopefuls should submit a demo reel, photo and resume to Tropicana Field between January 31st and February 14th. Ten finalists will be invited to a live audition held at Tropicana Field on February 21st (invitation only). Applicants will be judged on personality, baseball knowledge and public speaking skills.
Those interested should submit their DVD demo reel, photo and resume to:
Tampa Bay Rays, Attention: MC Auditions
1 Tropicana Drive
St. Petersburg FL 33705
Interested candidates may call (727) 825-3151 for more information.
Follow the Rays through spring training and the season with Marc Topkin, Joe Smith and the Times sports staff. We invite your participation in the comments area.
There must have a Party going on at Tropicana Field in '08.

Great article. I find it very useful and informative. A service I also find useful is a new online resource called ActiveJobseekers.com. It is a a place where job seekers Actively looking for jobs can create resumes for free and also announce their availability to employers.
Employers can then contact these job seekers knowing fully well that the candidate is actively looking for job.

Who becomes the "emcee" is an important decision for Rays fans. I listen to my music loud - but I HATE being screamed at with mega volume inside the Trop. The Trop has the loudest microphone/speaker volume of any stadium that I have ever been in.
