I'm going to be a bat boy for the Texas Rangers next year!

Lolz @ dfwm math. $40k is $53.33k at 25% tax ... over $65 an hour.

Unless there is some kind of incentive for making the playoffs/WS that trickles down to the bat boys, there's no way in hell that's true.

When you consider these players are pulling down millions a year, why not? 40m is a drop in the bucket...

Fuck, that's like $156/hr before taxes. J/K

Bat boys and others also often get bonus cash or gifts from the players. Those kids can make cash if they hustle as the players often having them doing crazy stuff running everywhere to get food, equipment, etc. It's more than just shagging bats.

and steroids! i remember reading that. back in day they did that often for the players
