I have a couple of friends who were clubhouse guys for the Pittsburgh Pirates for several years. They both loved and hated it. The hours were insane. The work was non stop and could be degrading at times. But as you can image, they are a wealth of stories about the people behind the public images of these players.
Of note: Derek Jeter was rather stand-offish and not especially cordial, whereas A-Rod was extremely personable and polite with them.
