Reply to "milb wages may be exempted by lobbyists"

Back in the 1940s, pro athletes and celebs were also drafted for the war. It's a different time.

I give credit to the player's unions for the various pro sports here in the US, they have done well for their players, of course with continued room for improvement. The interesting thing to note here is that prior to the big-time salaries, back in the days when these guys also worked 2nd jobs, the income the teams were making were also a fraction of what it is now. Sure, they were still being paid a pittance compared to team incomes, but teams became wealthier in the era of cable television.

MiLB is a known evil. You either go into it with a signing bonus to hold you over or you have a support system to help you out (family, wife, etc). Caveat Emptor
