Un anuncio publicado en el sitio web Craigslist de Boston, bajo el título «Pitching Needed (Fenway Park)» bromea haciendo un llamado a cualquier par de brazos que quieran formar parte del staff de lanzadores de los Red Sox. El anuncio fue publicado en la sección «gigs» de Craigslist.
El texto completo dice lo siguiente:
Have you ever played baseball? Are you left-handed? Can you occasionally throw a strike? If so, have we got a gig for you!
We recently traded away all of our starting pitchers and we need YOU to help us finish the season. NO BIG LEAGUE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! All you need is a glove, a hat, and an arm.
We provide the fielders, you throw the ball!*
If interested, please stop by Fenway Park sometime before tonight’s game and ask for Larry. We’ll do the rest!
*No offensive support included.

hi I’m unemployed and have wiffle ball and dizzy bat experience. I took most of 2013 and all of 2014 off.
I will sign for league min.
My wiffle rep includes a curve, slider, knuckler, med-fast ball and a nasty riser.
My 07 season was rough but from 08-12 I was a solid pitcher. In ‘11, I threw a 13 inning shutout ‘cause my teammate sucked and couldn’t hit. In ‘12, me and my teammate in Team Margarita went 8-0.
I will bring my own beer, thanks.—John D
