A 10 yr old boy a Boston Red Sox fan, went over to Yankee rookie Shelley Duncan for an autograph. Duncan obliged, and the boy was very excited. He had gotten signatures from lots of other teams, but never a N.Y.Yankee. When he got home he read what Duncan had written, and to his surprise, he couldn't believe his eyes. It said 'BOSTON RED SOX SUCK', and then his autograph. Now I am a die hard Yankee fan. True Blue. But how are our kids going to learn to be polite, if the grown-ups they admire do things like that. What say you?

Thank you Kris for giving me a source link. Last night, I couldn't find a story about it on the computer. Some thought I was pulling their leg. One even called it an urban legend. LOL.

Murcer wouldn't have done it. Pepitone wouldn't have done it. Mattingly wouldn't have done it. Guidry wouldn't have done it. And if The Boss wasn't so ill - and if it all checks out to be true - Duncan wouldn't be smirking today......he might as well have taken a Yankee uniform and thrown ink all over it.....a Yankee doesn't play such stupid games.

something's available yet he remains unproven and has many gamers to leapfrog merely before him... a million. Daisuke Matsuzaka 11-7, 3.ninety 9 era, 131 ok's. 2. Hideki Okajima 0.ninety two era, sixteen Holds 3. Dustin Pedroia .320, 39 Runs, 22 Doubles 4. Reggie Willits .301, 19 SB, 40 3 Runs 5. Delmon youthful .295, fifty two RBI, 40 5 Runs 6. Billy Butler .333, 26 RBI (34 video games) 7. Jeremy Guthrie 6-3, 2.88 era, 80 4 ok's No that is not any longer impossible, yet with this type of stable rookie type, that is not any longer likely... There are countless different beginners like Duncan who've had in user-friendly terms a cup of coffee that have additionally impresed this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, men like: Jacoby Ellsbury, Kason Gabbard, Ryan Rayburn, Ben Fransisco, etc... permit's see how he finishes the 300 and sixty 5 days, there's a explanation why he's a rookie at 27 years old.

A no class move form a player who hasn't (if you'll excuse the saying) hasn't earned his stripes. Over the years, I've seen and heard a lot of bad things from Yankees fans, but I generally like to hold the players to a higher standard. It's a real shame, because every time I see the Yanks here in KC, they're very curtious when kids want to talk to them at batting practice and what not. They could be jerks because they walk all over the Royals, but they're normally decent people. Makes the whole organization look bad.

Did the parents of this kid complain about the thousands of shirts that said Yankees suck, or the chants that said Yankees suck? I bet the 10 year old was chanting right along with them. It was a joke and people need to grow up and stop being cry babies. The kid should be thankful that he got an autograph. I can't stand all these people crying about every little thing. You can't say or do anything without some little b*itch bellyaching. Be happy with your autograph, realize it is a joke, and shut the hell up. 10 isn't that young, you're a 4th grader and maybe even a 5th grader. You should hear what these kids say on the playground. They know nearly every curse word and are already into the opposite sex. Grow up!

I'm with your Adrianne. It all starts with our Kids. They becaome the future fans and if they receive that treatment from a Baseball Idol they will grow to become an angry fan. What Duncan did was minor league and he's been a career minor leaguer and maybe thats why.

That's pretty sad.If that boy was a Yankee fan or not does not matter, Duncan should have been more respectful.He just wanted a damn autograph, is that so hard??The kids only 10 and obviously worships baseball players, no matter what team they play on.

If the kid's father was any kind of RedSox fan, he would never let his son get a Yankee autograph. It is kinda an unwritten code about those things. I am sure the kid was not all alone searching for autographs. What person does not look at the ball they just got autographed? Or even the father?
This does not sound like a true story to me.. but I guess you could say he got what he deserved. But very mean at the same time.. but quite funny if true. And yes, this player is a douche if he would do that to a 10-year old kid... a 40-year old man, different story.
add - Hmm.. I will have to check for it on PTI tomorrow. Still funny.. but then ridicilous at the same time.

That is pretty classless as are some the responses from some Yankee "fans" on here. Maybe he should prove himself as a full time major league player before proving himself as a full time major league jerk.

Being a career minor leaguer - the kid years from now will say out loud "who is Shelley Duncan??".
