Shiraz Rehman 年龄: 28. 出身地: New York. Position: Baseball Operations Assistant. 职衔：棒球营运部助理 Rehman's path to his dream job probably won't show up in any career guides, but it shows how determination and a little luck can go a long way. Rehman或许没办法藉由任何仲介来找到理想工作，但他却靠着果决与一点小小的运气圆梦 After college, Rehman entered the business world, working for Enron (until it went under) and Deloitte before enrolling in grad school at Columbia Business School. 大学毕业後，Rehman进入商业界，在安隆(还没倒之前)与德勤会计事务所工作，之後又跑 到哥伦比亚商业学校攻读硕士。 Around that time, he noticed the trend of young, quantitative thinkers breaking into the game, and decided he should follow his heart into baseball, which he played as an undergrad at McGill in Montreal. 差不多在那个时候，他注意到一群高素质的年轻智略家先後投入赛场当中，而决定随心所 向加入战局，这时他正Montreal的McGill进修。 The trouble was landing a job. When he heard about the annual GM meetings, he booked a trip to Florida, studied pictures of baseball execs, and finagled his way past security at the Ritz-Carlton. 但麻烦的是找工作，当打听到年度GM会议相关事项时，他马上订机票到佛罗里达，钻研棒 球相关，并在Ritz-Carlton骗过保全混进会场。 He met about half of the GMs but not Epstein. That's when fate interjected. On the last day of the meetings, he went out with friends to South Beach and happened upon Epstein and some other GMs in a club. 他会见了半数的GM但没见到Epstein，但命运真是捉弄人。会议的最後一天，他跟朋友出会 场去South Beach，却遇见Epstein与几个GM在一家俱乐部。 Thanks to that meeting, and several other serendipitous circumstances - including a friend's brother who played high school baseball with Byrnes - Rehman secured an internship last season with the Red Sox, impressed Byrnes, and wound up following him to Arizona. 幸好有那次会议，还有一些意外的好运，包括某位朋友的哥哥是Byrnes的高中棒球队友。 去年Rehman在红袜队完成了实习，让Byrnes印象深刻，接着跟Byrnes一起到亚历桑那。 Nearly all of this took place while Rehman was still in school. He just finished at Columbia last week; for 12 weeks, he had been flying to New York for Monday classes. 上面这些几乎全发生於Rehman还在念书时，他上星期才刚从哥伦比亚商学院结业。12个星 期以来，他每个星期一都得飞去纽约上课。 --
