Unless the business has 25 employees who travel from town to town six months of the year, eat with each other and spend most waking hours together, your comparison of a business to a ball team is inapt.

ReallY? So a CEO of a large corporation has the luxury of saying, "O.K. everybody back to work", but a small buisness owner has the moral responsibility to send everyone home for the day?

A business is in no way comparable to a tightly-knit baseball team. OTOH, a smart executive in a small business WOULD send employees home out of respect.

There are as*holes in every walk of life, of course, who would probably dock a dead guy's last check a half day if he died at lunch.

The executives in this particular situation -- the field managers, the general managers, and the commissioner of baseball -- all decided that the game would not be played.

Who are the REAL "wussies" -- people who are too distraught to continue to play, or people who whine about missing a ballgame? What kind of jackass would insist the game be played (besides Servant)? Just think of it as a rainout, and go the heck home.
