EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — University of Oregon journalism student Benjamin Christensen is a big baseball fan. How big?

He spent $4,000 to have the mascot or logo of every major league team tattooed on his body. The American League is on his left side and the National League on his right.

The Register-Guard reports (http://is.gd/YPYhng) a video of the tattoos helped him advance in a Major League Baseball-sponsored contest called the Fan Cave.

Christensen hopes for a career in sports broadcasting.
