Housekeepers Tired of Cleaning Up MLB Player’s Spit
LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK AND CLEVELAND - In addition to cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming floors, housekeepers across the country have found an additional task required of them: cleaning up the spit of professional baseball players in their giant ass mansions.
"Like many fans, I assumed they kept their spitting at work. You know, on the field; it's just grass and dirt. I felt bad for the groundskeepers but you know what you're getting into when you take that job," said Julie, who settled for housekeeping after not making it in the entertainment industry. "But it turns out they spit inside their homes, too."
The housekeepers say they've found spit everywhere, from furniture to plants to championship rings.
"I thought cleaning up a professional athlete's house was as good as it gets for someone in my profession but instead it's a weekly waltz through a biohazard mine field," said Anita, who took up housekeeping after getting super bored during retirement in Florida.
Some players even have special rooms full of spit jars. The jars have a range of meaning and purpose, and are often located right next to panic rooms.
"I once cleaned a house for a former Cleveland player. He has a jar dedicated to spitting every time he thinks about the Chicago Cubs," said Amy, who is currently vying for a job at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's new mansion.
"He took a handful of dirt from Progressive Field after game 7 of the 2016 World Series, near the visitor's side. One moment his eyelid will twitch and he just runs for the jar and spits until his mouth is dry."
When asked why the housekeepers continue working for MLB players, they insisted it was still better than cleaning homes for alt right podcasters or edgy male comedians.
