Unhappy with your job? Out of work altogether? Always wanted to enter the world of Major League Baseball? Want to party with the Home Run Thingie? Don't like talking to the media?

Now is your chance to cross all of that off your list and fulfill your dreams. The Miami Marlins are operating a job fair. It happens Tuesday, as in tomorrow, so hurry up and get to Marlins Park (501 Marlins Way, Miami Fla.). The official release says "numerous ... Event Staff and Part-Time Positions Available," including:

Guest Services, Ticket Operations, Retail Operations, Premium Services, Event Services, Concessions, Grounds, Janitorial Services and Event Services.

The Marlins' objective is to continue to create an environment where a team of business professionals can perform to their full potential, generating economic growth, strength and contributing to the well-being of a diverse community.

Attire to attend the Job Fair is Business Professional and the public is encouraged to bring several resume copies.

Event services was listed twice; that means you know they need people there. But here's what the release won't tell you: Don't talk to the press! From Barry Jackson's dot-dot-dot column in the Miami Herald:

She's a beaut, ain't she? All right, who did it? Which one of the Chicago White Sox put a 2005 World Series ring for sale on eBay? So far, 14 offers have been on the 14k gold, 95-diamond work of art, but the seller is asking $24,999.99. In addition to the market value, there's a lot of sentimental value (for some more than others, apparently) too. It represents Chicago's only World Series championship since 1917.

So, just who IS the seller (beyond the third party who appears to be fronting on the auction web site)? Some clues were left in the ring's description:

Lots of good clues, actually. Deadspin has been speculating as to who the seller is, and commenters have chimed in with guesses such as Jermaine Dye, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, Jose Contreras, even A.J. Pierzynski. It's not A.J., even though slashing tires and burning bridges on his way to the Texas Rangers isn't completely out of the realm with him, given that he likes to turn heel like a pro wrestler. And Dye (the MVP of the '05 Series) probably isn't down to his last few dollars, even though it's been a couple of years since he played.

The ring itself also holds more clues.

(AP)With provisional rosters for the 2013 World Baseball Classic due to be submitted late next week and finalized shortly thereafter, we have early confirmation on the status of two the game's youngest and brightest superstars.

First, from CBS Sports' Jon Heyman comes word that Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton has committed to play for Team USA, which is simply fantastic news for tournament organizers and fans interested in the event.

And it's even better news for manager Joe Torre, who can now safely pencil the 23-year-old's productive bat in the middle of an already stacked lineup that includes Ryan Braun, Adam Jones, Joe Mauer, Brandon Phillips and David Wright. But it also shouldn't be considered surprising news after the comments Stanton made when asked about his possible participation for Team USA back in September.

"Absolutely. Anything that represents your country is a big deal. It's relatively new. To have that be more popular, or make that more important to people, is ideal."

"You never know how long a career can be, and you want to get that experience," he added. "You never know how your health will be. In three years, something could go wrong. I'm able to do it now, and have no reason not to."

(Felix Hernandez on Twitter)As we‘ve seen in the past, Seattle’s famed 12th Man is proudly represented by baseball royalty.

But just in case we forgot that moment or thought Felix Hernandez’s raising of the flag at CenturyLink Field was a one time deal, the King of Seattle sports reaffirmed his support for the hometown squad by tweeting a photo of himself decked out in Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch’s No. 24 jersey and a Seahawks helmet.

And I’d say that was a wise selection by Hernandez considering he‘s been pitching in Beast Mode since the moment he picked up a baseball as a child, right up and through the 2012 season when he added a perfect game to his list of accomplishments.

(US Presswire)Finally we have a ballot result that baseball fans, writers, experts and all of mankind can get behind.

Well, I hope that‘s the case anyway.

After a five-day voting period set up to allow fans to select the cover athlete for the MLB 13: The Show video game —which is scheduled for a March 5 release — it has been announced that Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen emerged victorious, beating out other superstars such as Matt Kemp, Miguel Cabrera and Buster Posey to earn the coveted spot.

We’re also happy to report this means the hashtag wars connected to this contest that have consumed social media over the past week are also finished, meaning it should be safe to return to Twitter this weekend. Unless you don’t like football. In that case you should wait until Monday, as you would normally do.

Anyway, the results of the contest were actually quite surprising. McCutchen, who was by most accounts considered the underdog of the seven candidates selected, ended up pulling away from the pack with 108,147 total votes. That gave him a comfortable margin of victory over second place finisher CC Sabathia (89,054).

While digesting the hundreds and hundreds of thoughts, opinions and strong criticisms regarding this year’s Hall of Fame vote over the past three days, perhaps you overlooked or just flat out missed those expressed by Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" during his special "Seventh Inning Kvetch" segment that aired Thursday.

Naturally, Stewart put his unique and humorous spin on the subject, especially when "reporting" the reactions of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens, or as he collectively deemed them "Monsters Inc." Also, as most of you probably know, Stewart is a big Mets fans, so his frustrations over Mike Piazza’s exclusion are vented as well.

If you haven’t seen the segment, I urge you to check out the five-minute video posted above. Just be forewarned that it does include some strong and colorful language, so use discretion when deciding when and where to view it.

Given a choice, Milton Bradley probably would prefer the days when we wrote stories about him raging at umpires or reporters. Bradley's alleged rage at his wife might have much more serious implications on his life.

Bradleyfaces serious prison time — up to 13 years — after city prosecutors in Los Angeles charged him with 13 misdemeanor counts Friday, including assault with a deadly weapon. All of the charges relate to his wife's accusations of spousal abuse.

From the Associated Press:

(AP)If superagent Scott Boras has a beef with how newly modified rules are affecting his clients on the free-agent meat market, he is not complaining publicly. We are nearing mid-January and the best players available, all of whom were expected to make big bank by now, have not. And they're all Boras clients: outfielder Michael Bourn, right-handed reliever Rafael Soriano and right-hander Kyle Lohse.

Well, super reporter Jerry Crasnick of ESPN asked Boras if the system was rigged against him, and/or if he were butchering his clients futures by holding out. Well, what do you think Boras would say?

"People call me all the time and say, 'Man, your players aren't signed yet,' " Boras said. "Well, it doesn't really matter what time dinner is when you're the steak."

A great quote to be sure. In other words, teams unwilling to subsist on Hamburger Helper, alone, will pay for the likes of Bourn (ribeye), Lohse (strip) and Soriano (flank). Boras'clients usually are the milksteak that bring all the boys to the yard (to mix some pop-culture metaphors). What's interesting (relatively) about this story is that the players union, in the first place, agreed to the modifications on free agency, which serve only to help owners and drag salaries. Boy, Marvin Miller's smoking ghost is not happy about all of these givebacks!

As much as the conspiracy buff in me would like to blame something juicy like owner collusion against Boras, that's not what is happening. Probably. Here's Crasnick again on the changes:
