The Evansville Otters have full-time internships available for the 2010 season. The internship positions are summer positions that start in late April or early May and run through the conclusion of the season in September. Applicants with senior and junior standing will be given preference for internship positions.

EXPECTATIONS: The Evansville Otters expect interns to consider themselves a part of our full time staff. All employees are expected to work ALL home games including night, weekend and holiday games. Candidates are required to be enthusiastic with a great desire to put on a night of entertainment and memories for all the fans at historic Bosse Field. Within minor league baseball, the front office staff performs duties at all levels of management and maintenance. From time to time, staff members will be required to help sell tickets, help in our concessions operations, interact with players and coaches, help clean the stadium, pull tarp over the field and other tasks, in addition to their primary duties. Everyone working in professional league baseball wears many different “hats,” so a willingness to go above and beyond one’s normal duties is expected. The Otters offer the opportunity to learn the business of baseball from the ground up. Many past interns who have planned to continue a career path in professional sports have been given that opportunity to continue either with the Evansville Otters or with other professional sports teams.

Once your resume has been received, we will contact you to set up an interview to discuss the guidelines.
