the minor league baseball players make their money with the signing bonus. been told the the guys in a ball make about $1000 a month. so these guys are excited when a major leaguer plays on their team for a rehab game. the major leaguer knows what it is like in a ball, so the major leaguer pays for a feast for the guys. sure the booster club help, but they can only do so much in finding room and board. there are host families, but not enough.
