That's a beautiful moment.  To give some idea of just how big a deal it is to get to The Show (the major leagues), MLB minimum salary is $700,000 whereas Triple-A players make just $502-700/week for a ~21 week season.  I once spoke with a guy who was helping out his son financially while the son struggled in the minors.  This dad told me that only 1 kid per county per generation ever makes it to the majors.  So yeah, getting called up is a Really Big Deal.  Congratulations to Wynton Bernard!

And one day in the bigs gives you lifetime excellent health insurance.
