The regular MLB season ends tonight with a tiebreaker between old rivals; The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The night game will be played at Fenway Park, where tradition is eternally tradition and that die-hard honor of men not washing their hands at a baseball park will remain sacrosanct until the last out of eternity.
One survey conducted at the Atlanta Braves stadium revealed that while 95% of female Braves fans washed their hands while only 54% of their male counterpart attempted this ablution.
Someone once told me that at the old Yankee Stadium less than 20% of men put their hands under a faucet after finishing at the urinal. 8000 men out of 40,000 Yankee fans.
After hearing that information I always wash my hands, even if other men think it’s effeminate.
Also I never shake anyone’s hands at a game and I certainly don’t make eye contact.
That is a baseball game no-no.
Unless of course it’s someone famous and then you want to see how big they are.
Does that make me gay and do women wash their hands at Fenway?
