So this guy launched a twitter handle to organize and help out minor leaguers who are in many ways like NCAA athletes when it comes to surviving during a season. They make a little bit, but no where near enough to really sustain themselves, especially the guys that aren't huge prospects or bonus babies.
Consider sending this guy a DM and offering to sponsor a minor leaguer if you can. Sometimes it's just care packages of snacks, or necessary personal care stuff, sometimes gift cards for food, or maybe buy them dinner and have it delivered.
It's a really good program and thought and is really taken off. The amount of interaction varies, but many of the guys are just so happy and thankful for the support that they really enjoy the relationship it builds too.
The family and I are doing this. You can do it for someone from your fav org, or any org, or just donate some general stuff that he will dole out to guys in need. Thought this was a good place to post though, if you've got it, things are especially tough on everyone with the shutdown and now suspension of their first paychecks.
