I completely agree with PG and would offer that, if given the choice as an "either or" situation (play for free or not play due to an unfair pay scale) I would wager my son and every single one of his professional ball teammates would take playing the game they love for free. Honestly, they don't know what they don/t know and they think they actually have things really good . . . they think a Holiday Inn Express and $15 for dinner is livin' large. Also, hearing what some of their former teammates are doing (real world jobs at admittedly a lot more money) makes them feel like THEY have the best end of the deal and most of their former teammates would give up their well paying job for the same opportunity to chase the dream.
