The Overseer

The New York Times reports baseball will appoint an overseer to do something with drug testing.

The overseer will be appointed to a fixed term and will be given many protections from dismissal, said the lawyers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

In the current system, Major League Baseball and the union each appoint two representatives to the health policy advisory committee, which oversees the testing program. A fifth person can be appointed to cast a decisive vote when matters are deadlocked. Antidoping experts have questioned its independence.

How do I get this job? The job description is undefined and there's little chance of being fired. I can sit around all day and blog and get paid for something else! How cool is that? Plus, I could revoke all HGH suspensions because it doesn't do anything.

Plus, how cool would it be to have the title Overseer? It sounds pretty godlike. Maybe the job comes with the power to produce lightning from your fingers. A cross between Charlton Heston and Darth Sidious.

Where do I apply?
