Great Story about the life of an average Kernels' player

[Thrylos]

In yesterday's Cedar Rapids Gazette, by Jeff Johson. Full story here. Subject matter was discussed in this forum previously, but this is a good story and I think that it needs some light...

Thanks for the link.

 

A new nugget from this story that I hadn't realized:

 

Guys are not paid during spring training or extended spring training and receive no money if they are asked by their major league organization to go to postseason instructional league, either.

 

Nothing like slave labor.

 

And thank you to my fellow Iowans in Cedar Rapids for making life a little easier for these young men.

 

Now the major league bosses just need to step up to the plate.
