MC Hammer was an Oakland A’s Batboy for 9 years.

So I can’t lie, finding this picture gave a good excuse to post this but whateva. Anyway, I was watching an interesting HBO documentary called Rebels of Oakland about 1970’s Oakland Sports teams, and I found out the fact that is the title of this very post. 9 years? With the nickname of “Executive VP” none the less.. did he become a batman at any point (pun not really intended)? I’m jealous at the interesting lives some people live, from A’s batboy to the navy to a rich singer/dancer to broke singer/dancer being down with Tupac, to being a blogger that does records with Scott Storch (which would be used as diss content by Timbaland/D.O.E.).

    We spoke to Hammer when we were at Sundance in January. Check that link for video of the interview.

    Hammer is a great guy. It’s ironic that the world thinks of him as just some broke sucker who squandered his fortune.

    Dude is obviously doing well for himself and gives off an air of strength and intelligence.
