XFINITY: Win the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job

With the advent of the MLB Fan Cave, social media and fans are playing an increasing role in reporting on sports events. The Fan Cave has 30 members (one for every MLB team), but this opportunity is a way to be the sole person on a national stage for many different sports events. It's like the Fan Cave on steroids, but without having to visit a crooked doctor in Miami! Ha ha -- too soon? You know what I mean. This sounds like a cool deal, so if anyone from AN wants to enter the contest, feel free. Read the information below for more details.
