matt +4Am I bad person for thinking this is funny?-
RedBaron I'm sorry, but this is not funny. Think how shocking it must have been for the 10-year-old. I'll bet he never hears awful words like "suck" at school.
Of course, if he had been 11 or 12, it would have been totally cool.

roughkat I doubt that "sucks" is the worst language you will hear when attending a Red Sox/Yankees game. -
boston318 The Yanks suck. Sox have been in first place since the season started. The Yanks spent all these millions of dollars on "so called the best" and they can't even perform. Money well spent Steinbrenner. How dear someone write that and give it to a child their first time at a game, that's just poor sportsmanship. It's a child, grow up.....-
Kubah I feel for the small market Red Sox. They only could afford $100+ million to get a pitcher with a 14-12 record and a 4.41 ERA. Someone call the waambulance.
Shelley Duncan should get some MVP votes for this.

Yankee’s prank strikes out
Published 9/16/2007 at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
Yankee’s prank strikes out The masque of anarchy is upon us! Talk about sore winners. Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night. The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: “Red Sox suck! Shelley Duncan.” “It was cool to get his autograph,” Griffin said. “It didn’t make me feel happy when he wrote that.” Griffin’s mother, Karen, blasted the Yankees slugger’s bad manners. “This is someone who wears the Yankee uniform and is on the payroll and should be setting an example for 10-year-olds,” she said. ...

... Some peoples' priorities are so goddamn out of whack sometimes that it makes me want to chuck a hardball at their faces. And I don't even just mean Torre. Take a look at some of the reaction to this story about the Yankees' Shelley Duncan signing an autograph for a 10-year-old Boston fan with "Red Sox suck". Obviously, the guy is having a bit harmless bit of fun with the kid, yet people are actually calling for him to be suspended over it! If this is actually the kind of thing that genuinely elicits your righteous indignation, you should probably just do us all a favour and kill yourself. You're not doing society any good by trying to tell us your retarded opinions, or... existing. ...

We've all known that the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry is one of the most intense in all of sports. But when the kids get hurt has it gone too far? Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night. The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: “Red Sox suck!

... They say that when September rolls around rookies have graduated to an in between level of experience. Something like floor 7 1/2 in Being John Malkovich, I guess. You aren't quite a veteran but you are more than just a greenhorn. Shelley Duncan of the Yankees, for example, is in just such a situation. He hasn't been up in the Show for more than a couple of months but he's playing on a team in a pennant race and can't be acting like he's wet behind the ears. If the way he signed an autograph for a young Red Sox fan is any indication there's not much chance of that. ...

... The picture shown above from the Boston Herald may be one of the funniest I have seen in awhile. Dejected ten-year-old die-hard Red Sox fan holding a message from Yankees slugger Shelly Duncan that reads simply “Red Sox Suck. Shelly Duncan.” I’m not sure what this kid expected a Yankees player to do when a kid decked-out in full BoSox regalia asks him for an autograph. I’m sure Duncan has been told that he and his mates “suck” (and probably far worse) by legions of Red Sox fans, many younger than the ten-year-old in the picture. ...
