"You folks should be ashamed comparing privileged MILB players with hard-working minimum wage workers"
"The reason they have enough is that their food, lodging, travel, clothes are paid for. People making minimum wage don't get that"
Really?
Their clothes are paid for? They get pants and their jerseys ,hats, They have to pay for their own gloves, batting gloves, cleats,(sponsored high signing bonus guys get a lot of stuff free
Transportation? yes to games most cant even afford to have their cars there
Food? They pay club fees and some of this goes to the spreads
Lodging? rookie ball usually does but other levels it is not provided (some have host families but not all)
Many times 6 guys share a room with air beds in the living room?
This is what irritates me. People making comments when they really know little about what really goes on.
yes it is a great learning lesson, yes it is great to get the chance but please don't act like minor league players in the low rungs of baseball are pampered. That really irritates me. And again not one of them is saying to feel sorry for them.
