Shiraz Rehman 年齡: 28. 出身地: New York. Position: Baseball Operations Assistant. 職銜：棒球營運部助理 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或許沒辦法藉由任何仲介來找到理想工作，但他卻靠著果決與一點小小的運氣圓夢 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. 大學畢業後，Rehman進入商業界，在安隆(還沒倒之前)與德勤會計事務所工作，之後又跑 到哥倫比亞商業學校攻讀碩士。 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. 差不多在那個時候，他注意到一群高素質的年輕智略家先後投入賽場當中，而決定隨心所 向加入戰局，這時他正Montreal的McGill進修。 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. 但麻煩的是找工作，當打聽到年度GM會議相關事項時，他馬上訂機票到佛羅里達，鑽研棒 球相關，並在Ritz-Carlton騙過保全混進會場。 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. 他會見了半數的GM但沒見到Epstein，但命運真是捉弄人。會議的最後一天，他跟朋友出會 場去South Beach，卻遇見Epstein與幾個GM在一家俱樂部。 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. 幸好有那次會議，還有一些意外的好運，包括某位朋友的哥哥是Byrnes的高中棒球隊友。 去年Rehman在紅襪隊完成了實習，讓Byrnes印象深刻，接著跟Byrnes一起到亞歷桑那。 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. 上面這些幾乎全發生於Rehman還在唸書時，他上星期才剛從哥倫比亞商學院結業。12個星 期以來，他每個星期一都得飛去紐約上課。 --
