The Major League Baseball season is winding down, and the athletes not fortunate enough to have a spot on playoff squads will soon be golfing, planning vacations, or preparing for the 2018 season. For minor leaguers, however, who play a shorter season and who earn a fraction of major league salaries, late September usually means returning to a second (or third) job.

“We don’t make a ton of money,” Anthony Gallas, an outfielder in Cleveland’s system, told a local news outlet in 2016, “Most people would think, ‘Oh, you’re a professional baseball player. You just take it easy in the offseason.’ Well, the fact is, most of the guys, we work.”

Gallas said he had found employment at a movie theater and taught hitting before heading to Venezuela for winter ball.
