There are two paths to making money in this world:
make somebody else money
be hard to replace
There aren’t that many people that can hit those balls that well, so there’s number 2, and those people who can are cornerstones in a billion dollar entertainment industry, so there’s number 1.

You forgot the 3rd way ... work for yourself.
With your two methods, there are no guarantees to making money for yourself, and I am proof of that. Many times in my life I have made millions for my employers, to the point where they did not need any other salesmen for the next couple of years (the backlog of business was that great), only to be laid off shortly thereafter so that they would not have to pay me my commissions. After the last time that happened, I vowed never again ... and now I am working on building my own fortune.

I’m still amazed at baseball players who can have a 100 MPH fastball come straight at them without bailing out, much less being able to actually hit the darned thing.
I go to a batting cage and to me a 60 MPH pitch is past me before I even see it.

There aren’t many people who can ride a bicycle for five hours at an average speed of 30 mph and climb 12,000 feet in that same span.
