Duncan's Prank Rolls Foul

Ten year old Boston Red Sox fan, Griffin Whitman , discovered new meaning of Curse of the Bambino at a game between his beloved Red Sox and the visiting Yankees.

Whitman asked rookie Shelley Duncan for an autograph before the opening game of the weekend series. Duncan obliged and passed the book back to the boy.     (Read the full story...)

The rivalry between these two clubs is the legendary. Red Sox fans routinely chant "Yankees Suck!" when the club plays in town. Likewise, NY fans return the insult when the Sox come to Bronx.

I'm not supporting the ball player, but a proud Red Sox fan would never ask a Yankee for his signature! That's like Larry Bird asking Magic Johnson to be his best man; or Muhammad Ali taking a dive with Joe Frazier in the ring; or Lloyd Carr (Michigan) sending his kid to Ohio State!

"Griffin’s mother, Karen, blasted the Yankees slugger’s bad manners". Wonder if she said anything to the fans at Fenway when the chanting began?
