MLB pays 'cave' man to watch every game By JEREMY OLSHAN Last Updated: 4:26 AM, March 30, 2011 Posted: 2:27 AM, March 30, 2011 Comments: 0 More Print He's a designated sitter. Mike O'Hara, a punk rocker and aspiring actor, was drafted by Major League Baseball to watch all 2,430 regular season games, beating out 10,000 applicants for the job. Starting tomorrow, he'll be holed up in MLB's "Fan Cave," a shrine to fandom built in the old Tower Records building on Broadway and East Fourth Street, in front of 15 flat-screen televisions. As he watches the games, he'll tweet his thoughts, be interviewed by MLB sportscasters, and have his daily adventures chronicled in online videos. As of yesterday, O'Hara, 37, said he still had a girlfriend. Fortunately for him, he won't have to live in the 15,000-square-foot Fan Cave or subsist on a diet of stadium food. "I don't want to end up two sizes larger by the end of the season," he said. MLB officials wouldn't say how much O'Hara is being paid, but said his salary falls between that of a batboy and baseball's league minimum of $400,000.
