Pirate Catcher John Bormann got to play today for the Pirates because he could basically get to the game on time in Miami from where was playing A ball versus any of the better minor league catchers in the Pirate system.
Bormann struck out and will get sent down but but by playing in one MLB game..he gets health insurance for life.....thats got to be worth 250k plus. assuming its real good insurance with a small deductible etc..
