East Texas PumpJacks News Release


The Jacks have extended their job fair one last day to give everyone a chance to join the team. Visit the Jacks this Saturday at the Kilgore Chamber of Commerce and join the defending champs!

The East Texas Pump Jacks are looking for a few good men... and women. And anyone who is interested in joining the team now has one more chance to apply.

The team has extended its annual job fair one more day, giving applicants another chance to join the defending TCL champions. The final day of the Pump Jacks job fair will be Saturday, May 11, from 1 to 6 p.m. The fair will again be held at the Kilgore Chamber of Commerce, located at 813 North Kilgore Street.

"We want to make this our best season yet, and to do so, we have to assemble our best staff yet," said general manager Mike Lieberman. "We're looking for team members who can stand up as defending champions and host the 2013 TCL All-Star Game, and do it all with a smile."

Nearly every position at the ballpark is available. Applicants can work in the ticket office, concessions, wait staff, the promo team, and even mascots.

Those interested in being members of the Pump Jacks can attend the job fair, where they will learn the specifics of the available positions and submit applications. Interviews will be conducted on-site, so applicants are encouraged to dress accordingly. Applicants must be at least 16 years old to be hired.

Some positions may have roles outside of the ballpark as well. The promo team, for example, can serve as the Jacks' goodwill ambassadors in the community, appearing at fairs and events during the summer and even throughout the year. Not only does this mean that promo team members have the opportunity to earn even more, but the position serves as valuable experience for anyone looking to work in a field like PR or community relations.

Applicants who took part in the job fair this past weekend do not need to re-apply.

The Pump Jacks open the defense of their title on Thursday, May 30, on the road against the Texas Marshals. They open their 2013 home schedule on Tuesday, June 4, against the Acadiana Cane Cutters, then conclude their opening homestand with a championship rematch against the Victoria Generals.

Host Families: The Pump Jacks are seeking host families for the 2013 season. Hosting a player is a great experience that forges a lifelong bond with a young man, a relationship that transcends the game of baseball. Host families also receive free season tickets - including the All-Star Game - for every member of their household. If you're interested in finding out more about the host family program, please contact the Pump Jacks at (903) 218-GO ET or info@pumpjacksbaseball.com.

Season tickets for the Jacks are on sale now: Season ticket prices remain the same this year - that's right, no price increase even with a championship and the All-Star Game! Lower Box seats, which include in-your-seat wait service, are just $199 each, and Upper Box seats are $150. Grandstand season tickets are $105 for adults and $85 for children and seniors. Season tickets can be purchased online, by phone, or in person at the Jacks' office in downtown Kilgore.
