The dude was paid to travel on a team bus to go to tourneys all over the Midwest.
I thought that maybe it was fast pitch but apparently not.
These dudes didn't play on regular softball fields either. They were on regulation baseball diamonds.
Apparently the 'championship' tourney was played on a MLB field and they had tens of fans attend.

I played with this guy who was a total ringer for a few games. He played triple A ball for the Phillies and was a member of the Worth Softball sponsored team.
Ridiculous. I have no idea why that guy wasn't in MLB.
