Dirty Job in Bowie

Baysox featured on Discovery's 'Dirty Jobs'

If you have ever had a chance to watch Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel, you have probably been made sick to your stomach...in an entertaining way.

Not sure what is so dirty about working for the Bowie Baysox, but host Mike Rowe tackled some baseball jobs:

Dirty Jobs host and Baltimore native Mike Rowe, was put to the test by the Baysox on Friday, Aug. 25, 2006, as the Bowie Baysox hosted the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in a double header. Discovery Channel's #1 rated show, Dirty Jobs, cast and crew spent nearly 14 hours at Prince George's Stadium capturing all of the action for this episode.

Show host Mike Rowe will be seen doing a variety of different jobs including; mowing the outfield grass, assisting the Grounds Crew in preparing the infield dirt and warning track for play, washing players uniforms and cleaning their shoes, learning the basics of stealing bases, learning the art of hitting a baseball in the batting cages from Baysox Hitting Coach Moe Hill and even singing the National Anthem. Rowe's 14-hour day with the Baysox was capped off with a well-earned and relaxing dip in the clubhouse whirlpool. All of Rowe's grueling tasks will come to fruition in an episode titled "Well Digger" on Tuesday, Jan. 30.


We laugh at a 14-hour day during the season. Plus, my day usually ends with a relaxing trip through a drive-thru and falling asleep on the couch watching the History Channel.
