Five pesos a week making wallets

This is a Phillies item, but a good one. Donald Bostrom of the Morning Call asked the Phillies about the jobs they've had before baseball. I was under the impression that more of the American players were like Mike Lieberthal and never had another job. A bunch of them worked as umpires in Little League. The South American players, on the other hand, have some real stories.

I'd be interested to see a similar feature on the Pirates. Pittsburgh fans get pretty surly when the players behave like prima donnas. I guess the players have dug some share of ditches in their past, too.
