Correct. But it's actually sadder IMO as people are constantly bombarded through media, advertising etc that "making money" should always be your dream by far; so pervasive even children get ingrained with it and partake in making fun of other kids who are of humbler financial means. Limbic capitalism is literally designed to short circuit your brain to drown in over consumption. Anyhow, baseball is a fun game, and people who win, win huge. For the vast majority of the population, work is pretty shitty, and they have constant RBF while doing it, and unlike ball players, they may not even know who their coworkers in the cubicle 15 feet away are (much like they might not know any of their neighbors). For most people, even if they "make it" to the big leagues, they will likely have shit work life balance, and have nearly as big a piece of cheese as an elite baseball player. It gets so ingrained in our society that work addiction and wage theft are so rarely even thought of a serious issues on either side, since unbridled desire to make money, even if it's for the sake of making money and nothing else, isn't looked down as being unhealthy in any serious way. Yet many people pay a very serious price for it.
