Screaming, abusive managers, coaches, plsyers and, most of all fans. In the minors, having your car keyed (or worse) by those fans.

Again in the minors, the long car rides between cities, living on fast food, sometimes sleeping in the car to save money because your salary qualifies you for SNAP benefits.

But mostly the fans --and, in the minors, the managers, because they'll test you.
