Looking for advice.
I have 0 qualifications with editing but I really want to get into the business.

Jeff, I can do this for you and I love music and Baseball. You can see my reels at www.geoffmastro.com but let me know what your budget is??
I hope you sent this to the Tigers or better yet one of the local radio stations. Love the Tigers. Sad now though. Obviously rights from the original are needed.
