Paternity leave

[ChrisAsbrockFTI]

This is a debate regarding Brandon Phillips leaving the Reds for the birth of his daughter. I have heard some people (former MLB players) say they wouldn't be happy with him leaving.

As former Red Dave Collins put it, "The Reds will take care of BP's daughter and his daughters family for years to come."

What are your thoughts? Would you be upset with a teammate leaving an important road trip for the birth of their child?

In the end... baseball is just a game.

Thank you. There is no way in hell I would ever be upset about a player leaving a team for the birth of their child. BP is doing what he is supposed to do, manning up and being a responsible father and being there by his girlfriends side, while their baby is born. Well done to BP for being a true man. For everyone who thinks otherwise, you can kiss my ass because you are truly a moron.
