Chapter 983 I invite everyone to eat meat

2A层级的比赛票价很便宜，正常看球的位置的话7-11或者7-12刀基本就是极限了。

So it was sold out early in the morning, and the time was almost up. Fans filled the stadium, and children crowded in front to ask the players for autographs.

Shen Qin hit in the tunnel under the lounge, and did not go to the field to participate in outdoor hitting practice.

Xi Chuan recorded data for him and talked about today's weather conditions: "Are you familiar with the stadium?"

"Well, I've seen it in the outfield. This court is a standard size. I see that the distance on both sides is about the same, and there are no weird corners."

"Well, this stadium was built in 05. Basically, the size of a stadium that hasn't been around for a long time is basically standard. Because the old-fashioned stadium didn't take into account various scientific reasons, the size is weird. With the development of the city If you want to develop, you can’t change it, you can’t change it, there are buildings all around, you can’t expand it, you can’t demolish it.”

Shen Qin thought of the short left field and the green monster at the home of the Boston Red Sox. This is indeed the case, and the old stadium is not easy to change.

That's not right~ "Hasn't the Cubs' home game changed a lot?"

In the past, there was an off-court 'spectator seat' on the private building outside the Cubs' home court. (There are many seats on the roof to watch the game, but not in the stadium).

"The Cubs' home court is different. Although it is also a century-old stadium, you know that those private auditoriums outside the stadium also have to pay for the Cubs' ball team. The owner of the stadium and surrounding buildings is actually a win-win result. This and The Red Sox's Fenway Park is different. It was supposed to be an outlier."

Okay~ "I'll treat everyone to dinner after the game, can you ask the restaurant to arrange it?"

"Yeah." Xi Chuan doesn't mind Shen Qin talking nonsense while beating here, he's a little nervous, it's normal, but don't you know that the kid is not nervous when he arrives on the court? "Barbecue? Mushroom and bell pepper burger?"

"Okay, let's add mushrooms, some people don't eat them." Speaking of this, Shen Qin was a little speechless: "It's obviously such a delicious thing, and all kinds of mushrooms are so delicious, why do some people not like it? "

Xi Chuan choked, because he was one of them, and he always felt that mushrooms had a strange fishy smell! "Ahem~ Your arms are too tight!"

"Bah! Open your eyes and talk nonsense, don't you know that I hit it myself? I just closed the head of the stick just now."

"..." Bear kid, let's get nervous!

Shen Qin came to the lounge and sat on the bench. He knew his problem, but he was a little nervous in an unfamiliar team.Who in the field?do not know!Who is the outfield?I don't know either!As for the shooting stalls, the bullpen, and those on the bench, I don’t know any of them~
To play in this environment, one really needs to get used to it!
Deep breath deep breath!

"Hey~here!" A player on the side threw a bag of melon seeds and said, "The melon seeds in our lounge are all placed at the far end, and they are reversed from others. You have to go there to get them."

"Oh!" Shen Qin blinked, but he didn't recognize this person~ or he didn't even look familiar: "Thank you."

"Embarrassed?" The man smiled: "It's always like this for newcomers, it's fine if you stay for a long time~ Oh! You must stay for a long time! Then I'll introduce you when I come next time."

"..." What the hell!Shen Qin choked for a while, and didn't want to come next time at all, okay?But he still pursed his lips and nodded: "After the game, let the restaurant prepare food, don't leave yet."

"Wow! Treat!?" The man jumped up and shouted to the people around him: "Today he treats you! Is there any meat? Is there any meat?"

“Shiitake Mushroom Bulgogi and Bell Pepper Beef Burger!”

"Wow! Awesome!"

Shen Qin was a little embarrassed, food was much easier for these people than himself!

"You like burgers?"

"nonono!" The man waved his fingers: "We like meat! We like vegetables! By the way, are there any vegetables?"

"some."

"Well~ I can finally have a free meal! This season, Honey Panda didn't have any injuries, and we didn't see a few people come down to play the rehab game. We all lost the chance to eat!"

Shen Qin blinked, huh?What did I hear?Has the tradition of this other team been brought here?
The man laughed hahaha: "Didn't you see the post in the restaurant? Pay attention to the little league cubs!"

puff!
"A treat for the first round of the show! A treat for those who come down from the major leagues to play a rehabilitation game! A treat for superstars! Must have meat! Vegetables! You can't be short of them! You don't know how expensive these good ingredients are now! Someone treats or something , it is simply too suitable for bachelors like us!"

"No!" The bearded man next to him pushed him: "It's more suitable for people like us who are raising families." The bearded man smiled and asked Shen Qin: "Can you pack it?"

Shen Qin froze for a moment, then immediately nodded, is this day so hard?
Hahaha!The bearded man swung his stick and smiled: "Are you surprised? This is saving money! It's worth saving a meal. I bought all my sportswear five years ago."

The person on the other side snorted: "I haven't bought a belt for six years, and I still get it from the team. If I change teams, I don't want to lose it!"

"Who is worse than me? My daughter still needs to see a doctor!"

"Don't, I want to raise a family!"

"Are you the only one who wants to raise a family? I also want to raise the children of relatives!"

"..." Shen Qin was both shocked and frightened!He had heard that life in the minor leagues was difficult, but Ke Keke had never heard of it so directly.

The first person to talk to him patted him: "Don't be intimidated. Everyone needs to vent. Everyone in the team is sick and sympathetic. It doesn't matter if you say it. You can't talk about it at home, right? Do you think it makes sense?"

Shen Qin stiffened his neck, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

"Really, is life so difficult? Can you only rely on one person to make money?"

The man was stunned for a while before nodding his head: "That one, the daughter is only a little older, has blood cancer, and the wife is not in good health."

"What about the others? Why raise a family? Is he the only one who has a job?"

"No, no." The man grabbed him, obviously not knowing what to say: "Probably because professional players can make more money! But pandas are much better. Our level used to earn 1150 a month. There are about 4 to 5 months of income in a year, and the panda has [-]! Hey, hey, why are your eyes so red?"

Shen Qin rubbed his face. In fact, this topic can't be called sad, because everyone is just selling each other miserably in a joking atmosphere. Who doesn't know about the salary of the minor leagues? They only get paid during the season. , The players who are late in the draft round basically don't have a good life. It's not surprising, okay?
"Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Shen Qin patted his pants and stood up, laughing: "I'll treat you to meat tomorrow!"
