Dan and Lori Cooper have written an excellent article about their experience as a Cornbelter Player host family. Here is a snippet:

Our first player was a pitcher from Ohio, Chuck Ghysels. Our girls felt as if they found their long lost brother. They rode 4 wheelers, swam in the pool, watched TV and played video games together. He became a part of our family in a matter of a couple weeks. Early into the season however, Chuck was released. The bond we developed didn’t end there though, we stay in contact and he visits when in town. After Chuck’s release, we had an opportunity for a second player and again you have the same sort of apprehension. We were pleasantly surprised by pitcher Stephen Frey, a wonderful young man from downstate New York. Stephen just fits with our family, we enjoy discussing the daily news, going to the movies, and watching baseball together. Stephen is just another member of our family, so we invited him to live with us for an entire season. Our girls love having a big brother they can cheer for.
