MAYNARD, Mass. and NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2004--With the 2004 Major League Baseball playoffs in its final stage, baseball fans around the nation are intent on keeping up to date with the latest scores and all the storylines from this year's match-ups. To leverage the excitement baseball in October always generates, MLB Advanced Media recently teamed with Monster to begin recruiting quality candidates to staff the 2005 Major League Baseball season.

As part of the deal, which began in early October and runs through Spring Training 2005, Monster has homepage placement on MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, and all 30 of the MLB Team Sites. A banner, titled "Click to Get The Ultimate Job with MLB.com," on the sites' homepage allows visitors to search job opportunities with MLB.com.

"As the leader in our industry, Monster has been successful helping both national and local companies find quality candidates to grow their businesses," said Brad Baker, SVP of Product and Marketing, Monster. "Through this relationship, Monster will help drive talented candidates to nationwide opportunities available with Major League Baseball at a time when traffic to MLB.com is at its highest levels of the year."
