Journal 31

For career day I went to Lanphier Park, for the Springfield Sliders organization.  I can't recall what I put as the career category, but I believe it had something to do with tickets sales, sales advertising, or something like that. I had a really good time there and I enjoyed my experience.  I was a little nervous to go but I went in and met Denny something and he was a real nice guy.  The day started off with him showing me a tour of the stadium.  Although, I have played in the stadium, I didn't really care, I got to go into places where I normally would not have gone into.  After that I met the General Manager and another worker in the front office.  I then went with Denny to make a deposit at the bank.  After coming back, I got to sit in on a few phone calls, for tickets and advertising.  I got to see what it was like and the constant negotiating that went on in the process during a sales call.  I was asked to do a press release about the three new signees from Tusculum college.  I wrote that and showed it to the GM and he read it.  He was very impressed with my writing skill, some of which I attribute to Mr. Langley, but he also said that two interns had written previous press releases and he said that he had to start all over.  I felt pretty good about myself after I heard that and I remember seeing one of the articles in the sports page, so I am looking forward to seeing if it makes the paper.  I did a little bit of dirty work after that by cleaning the trash.  I got the whole experience there.  We went out to lunch which was what I thought was going to be the best part of the day.  It was very good but my experience with the club was a lot better.  As I was about to leave, all three of the guys said that if I ever wanted an internship during college, I could call them up and they would be more than happy to have me.
