The best thing about this game was watching the players shake hands after the game. It was quite obvious that these two teams respect and even like each other. Some of the players from each team came back together for more congratulations and even pictures with some players from each team after the official part was over. It was great to see the pure competition (both teams wanted to win) followed by the mutual respect. Good Stuff! (I did not see any slapping
)
Shouldn't all the teams respect eachother? Most kids in the colonial, at least in the west end have grown up playing little league and talk to eachother while on base during a game while playing eachother. The fact that you act surprised by the teams respecting eachother must mean you are not used to seeing it at your games too much. Typically, unsportsmanlike conduct does not occur too frequently and would not be tolerated.
