Back in the pre-war era many of the big stars had off season jobs to make ends meet. IF I am not mistaking Christy Mathewson worked at a service station (or something like that) in the off season. They had to make money some way and baseball wasn't like it is today, when some non-starters gets millions of dollars a yr.
