A programmer works for Mirco$soft writing software such as Windows Operating System for the end user.OMNIVOROUS FROG said:I think his ultimate employer is MLB, who is running this shindig. And it is the fans who ultimately pay his salary.
OMNIVOROUS FROG said:I guess we have varying opinions, nothing wrong with that. My opinion, he should play, like everyone else who is selected. Now if we were talking football, and the Pro Bowl, I do not know why any player shows up for that. I guess I believe it is an honor, and a chance to give something back to the business that gave you everything. As far as attendence, you are probably right, many of the expensive seats and boxes are corporate owned. But a lot of regular fans watch the game on TV, dare I say many millions? How do they feel about Perdo, as you call him, cancelling out?

Does the programmer works for Mircosoft or the end user? He works for Microsoft.
Another example, a car sales man. The salesman deals directly with the potential car buyer the driver. The salesman does not work for the driver, even thought the driver ultimately pays for the car and commissions of the salesman, all done face to face too normally.
The programmer's ultimate employer is Microsoft, not the end user.
The sales man ultimate employer is his company he sells for or himself if working employed on commission basis etc.
Baseball is no different.
Pedro works for the Mets. No one else.
Mets management probably pleased Pedro is not going to the meaningless game.
