The Save America's Pastime Act was proposed to exempt minor league baseball players from minimum wage and overtime laws. It was introduced by congress members with donations from MLB. A class action lawsuit by a former minor leaguer argues players are among the worst paid athletes, making $1100-2150 per month for 60-70 hour work weeks. While MLB claims players are short-term apprentices and payments couldn't be afforded, critics note MLB revenues exceed costs and players can be fired. The ethical treatment of minor leaguers is questioned given the business model.
