I am a baseball fan and I played baseball (in college and professionally), but I feel the need to point out that Bryce Harper will make $46,000 per at bat, which is the annual salary for a first year teacher in most states.

I love seeing children being kind and loving! Nothing makes me realize that what I do may not mean a lot to some, but seeing these children interact and learn together makes me realize it means a lot to them! #lovemyjob!#theridgelearns!
