They didn't cancel the game because of the fans, they did it because of the players, who travel and play with each other from Spring Training to September and beyond. The players felt unable to play- they had just learned of Kile's death a few minutes before game time. Baseball is a team sport, where death is rare, while NASCAR is primarily an individual sport, where death is possible at every race. Today is a very sad day for both baseball fans and players.

Children attend school with each other from September to June each year, year after year. When a classmate or teacher dies, school goes on. We expect kids to carry on even in the face of a sudden loss. They will be shocked, sad, confused and have many questions, but school goes on. Immediate family is excused for mourning, but not the whole class, not the entire teaching staff.
When a co-worker dies, or a team member, it is up to the rest of the team to step up to the plate and carry on in his place with honor.
The comparison someone made about a baseball team being comrades-in-arms was not well thought out. What army goes home when a brother soldier falls?
