Being a batboy for a Major League Baseball Team
had lots of perks—free tickets for family and friends, a great view of the
game, a chance to meet baseball superstars and much more. The one question that
I'm always asked is, "Did you get paid?"
The reality is I would have done this job without
being paid a dime. There were so many memories and experiences, that I should have
paid the ballclub to work. However, I did receive a wage.
Ready for this … now remember, this was 1979. I received
a flat rate of $6 per game.
Wow, that must be something like $11 a game in
today's economy!
