How to Meet and Date a Professional Baseball Player

Professional baseball players, apart from being the pin-up boys of one of the most popular and exciting games, are paid handsomely and lead the life of a celebrity. This along with their rugged good looks, makes them one of the most desired partners for dating. So if you dream of being a baseball girlfriend yourself, here are a few ways you can meet and date the pros.

Hang out at the stadiums

In order to date professional baseball players you should know where to meet them. One of the best chances you have of meeting a single baseball player is at the team's home stadium. Players have to be there for 81 games a year, not to mention near-daily training, workouts, practices and meetings. So check from team websites what time the stadium gates open, both on game days and off-days and then get their early. That will give you time to meet a pro you have your eyes on -  most likely after batting practice. Approach him up on a non-game day, when he is relatively relaxed and has more time and energy for a chat. As for pitchers, if your favorite isn't pitching that day, he'll be hanging around the dugout. Camp out in the stands near the home team dugout. Don't be shy about calling out a player's name –  just be loud enough to be heard. In case he is open to a chat, be friendly, and have something interesting. You can even start out by asking for an autograph in which case be ready with something for the player to sign on and a working pen. But don't yell while your guy is at-bat, keep in mind that this is their place of business and they are working; and if it's a game day, he is trying to get properly focused and would probably get irritated if you keep disturbing him.

Attend the interactive events

The most famous of the players may be a little difficult to come across, given their celebrity status and the fact that team managers are quite protective of their players. At the same time though teams want to build rapport with their fans and their local communities. One of the ways they do that is by offering opportunities to meet professional baseball players in several controlled, friendly settings. There are for instance preseason team festivals, such as Detroit's annual Tigerfest. At these events, fans are invited to meet players at the team stadium or other large gathering place and get an autograph, chat or even play catch -- all for free. And even though you wish to be more than a fan, you can take opportunity of these interactive events to get in touch with a pro who is single. Likewise you can keep a watch for charity events attended by professional baseball players. They're community-building and outreach sessions where players show up to donate their time for a good cause and sign some autographs and meet fans. Schedules and information about these events are usually available on team Web sites. However remember that available players may vary from event to event and since that information isn't always announced ahead of time, you may not know until you get there if the one you want to meet is taking part. So line up early and keep your fingers crossed.

Hang out where they do

Baseball pros when they are not training or playing can be found partying hard. Read up the sports papers and tabloids to find out the places where professional baseball players usually gather for a drink or a dance. For instance in New York City, Trump Place along Westside Highway is believed to the haunt of several players who throw parties in their swanky condos. Again Southern Hospitality on Upper East Side often finds a mention in the media as a favorite hangout of the New York Mets. While it could be expensive frequenting these bars and nightclubs, you have a better chance of chatting up the singles among them. This is because unlike at the dugout or on the field, here your player is likely to be in the mood for socializing. you can also come across a player when his team is touring.  Find the hotel where the team is putting up – it will probably be the grandest one that is in close proximity to the stadium. Hang out in the lobby a few hours prior to the game and get chatting with your guy as he leaves for pregame activities.

A glitzy lifestyle

One of the biggest advantages of dating professional baseball players is that as a significant other, you get to partake of a glamorous social life. Baseball pros earn one of the highest fees in the world of sports; in the US, the MLB players make at least three million a year, not to mention the money from earned from bonuses, shares in teams as well as other businesses and commercial endorsements. Thus as a baseball girlfriend, you can expect to be wined and dined at the most expensive addresses in town apart from being showered with lavish gifts. And when you are not posing for the flashbulbs as the partner of a celebrity player, you are flying from one place to another along with your pro boyfriend. Small wonder then professional baseball players are one of the most sought-after dating partners in society.

Intense competition

All the reasons which make baseball pros so desirable as dating partners also mean that competition is very fierce. Like you there are hundreds of young women who are striving to catch the eye of a single and successful baseball player. And this means that you need to do or be something to stand out from the crowd. By all means you should brush up your physical appearance. But along with nice clothes and a great hairstyle, you also need charisma and presence – a little something extra – if you are to attract and hold his attention. Find out where you have an edge over girls and cultivate it to your best advantage. However if you are the jealous sort and cannot handle competition, you should think carefully before dating professional players. Being celebrities and immensely rich, they are used to constant female attention and you will several instances of the media gleefully reporting alleged sexual indiscretions on the part of the players.

Be prepared

For all their glitzy lifestyle and public adulation, professional baseball players have to work hard. They not only have to be fit enough to play but have to keep honing their professional skills. Injuries and accidents are a part of their lives. Also keep in mind that this is a profession where retirement comes early as compared to a doctor or lawyer who peak in their careers during middle age. Also if you are a professional yourself, consider how often you will be able to travel with your boyfriend all over the country. This is not to say that other careers don’t have these challenges but it is good to keep all facts in mind before you get serious about your baseball pro partner.
