This is mostly done for charity and can you think of the thrill the college players have even to be on the same field as the pros? Plus, what if you end up tying or beating a MLB team? That could pump your team up for the whole college season. The pros normally only play their young and non-roster spring invitiees in the game, so its not like David Vs Goliath. Its normally done in fun and everyone has a good time.

Good question . Brings to mind what if NFL teams played college teams. How about the New England Patriots play USC. Wow what a game that would be.

its a benefit for both teams.
it helps major league teams gain confidence for the year
it helps colleges play against better experienced teams
anyway its a college players dream to play a major league team crushed or not they are expected to lose they got nothing to lose
