Love of Baseball — Not Much Money in Minor Leagues….

I am the student who is doing the project on the effect of pressure on wanting to get to the big leagues. I had one more question. I was wondering if you played completely for the love of the game or for the chance at money. I am just starting my first year of baseball and am
extremely excited . Do you have that ambition? Also how do you deal with bad days not only on the field but family? Thanks!
From the Baseball Pro:
I play solely for the love of the game. You see while in the minor leagues you barely make enough money to eat, let alone buy big houses and cars. But that might not be the case for those in the major leagues. So for me, yes, I do play for the love of the game.
