The organization More Than Baseball has launched a GoFundMe to help accomplish the group's mission of getting minor league baseball players opportunities to live a better life because they are not paid proper wages.
The campaign started Monday and is looking for $25,000 to assist in providing players with affordable housing, access to healthy food options, necessary baseball equipment, career development and educational opportunities.
"Minor league ballplayers are subject to a system that takes advantage of their dreams and builds a lucrative market around their cheap labor," the GoFundMe description reads.
