How do they even exist? Between stadium rental, player training and medical expenses. Not to mention, travel and feeding players, Do players get paid at all? Or do they players have to pay the team to play

I am just curious how this works?

Lots of sponsors
Rantz is a pretty good salesman
Lots of free ticket days

Players don’t get paid
Most players have local ties
Sponsor families put up out of state players

Cape cod is same way

Laughing about this makes you look like an arse Ronnie works his fricking dick off promoting these teams and while he’s probably not making much profit maybe even a loss. … I’m glad to have people that actually attempt rather than laugh at the whole thing..

Their two jersey sponsors is Gordon and Cane's, so that probably covers a lot of their expenses.

Looks like you ticked off a Ronnie fan boy.

As opposed to his non-fricking dick?

It’s a collegiate league. None of the players get paid, they play in glorified high school or small college parks, and fan support is typically restricted to family members and a couple of extreme baseball junkies.

Northwoods League and Cape Cod probably get solid support, and maybe the Alaskan League. I doubt Texas Collegiate League and the others have solid fan support, but these leagues are more for the players’ exposure than for local owners to get rich.

Say what you want, but their dollar burger and two dollar margarita night while watching mediocre baseball is a great promotion and a solid way to spend a Wednesday night. I’ve only been once but I had a great time.

Between stadium rental,


They play at Pete Goldsby. That can’t cost much.

People taking it like I am talking bad about Ronnie and the team. I was just curious how they survive financially. Its not cheap with feeding players, travel, medical coverage etc.
