This only reinforces my firm belief that children are evil.
And, in this case, clearly have an imperfect understanding of baseball.
Anyways, you won't hear this problem in Canada. The kids there grow up on hockey and violent hockey fights and they end up less likely to kill you than kids who watched the occasional, light-weight baseball brawl. PERHAPS THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SPORTS PLAYERS YOU LOVE IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE.
It's true, Michael Moore says so. 
Okay, really don't want to open that can of worms. But yeah, seems a bit incongruous for hockey players to shake hands after beating the shit out of each other for three periods. Why doesn't anyone mention that perhaps sticking up for your teammates and solidarity are important? I'll bet you any money this was because a few kids stupid enough to wear Yankees hats got picked on. Typical Yankees fans. Dishing it out, but when it comes time to take it, they want to start a handshake movement. Pshaw.
Would I recommend to my child that he shakes hands with his chief, all-time tormentor(s) after my child has finally defeated said tormentor(s)?
Errr...hmmm....uhhmmm
Anyways, the teacher sponsoring this sissiness is a F#cking NYY fan!!!!
Where was he after ALCS Game 7/2003??? After ALCS Game 3/ 2004, do we know of his whereabouts?!?!
Comeuppance!!! Live it, learn it...
Fenway is my Baseball Mecca and I will launch Baseball Jihad upon the non-believers.
I am not currently drunk.
I love the fact that Tek loves dirt
And Re the handshake thing. I've said this elsewhere, but as I've been thinking about it. Wouldn't it be kinda, I dunno, more humilating for the yankees in a way?
Yankee=*sticks out hand* "Um. Congrats on winning the World Series and all."
Sox=*takes hand*"Thanks. And congrats on . . . um . . choking like that?"
You'd also have things happening where they would all line up to shake hands after the game, and everyone would grip Kevin Brown's hand particularly hard, and he'd have to be out for a few weeks.

You know, on second thought, this might not be such a bad idea...
Kids these days... one of the kids I've encountered in my babysitting adventures is both a Red Sox and Yankees fan, somehow. And as much as I tried not to scoff at a six year-old who has such an idyllic view of the world, I think he picked up on my "what kindergarten-grade crack did you find, kid" vibe.
"...but I'm really mostly a Patriots fan," he said to my stony silence.
//negativity and intensity is influencing children's sportsmanship after our own sports games.//
They say the kids wrote this? Geeze, back in the day when I was in elementary school, waaay back in the '90s (:P), us kids wrote our own stuff! Kids are getting too soft.
I hope that Tek has a boy. I can see it now, 25 years from now... a second coming of those massivly hot legs behind the plate.
June 7th, I get to smell that Fenway "funk".
Oh, and if you weren't sick, I think that I'd envy you for watching CSI all day long. Nick Stokes is HOT.
He is indeed but alas, my heart belongs to Warrick. It totally goes back to his appearance in Janet Jackson's "Again" video.
