NY student, teacher in Yankees-Red Sox feud

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York school district is investigating a fourth-grader's claim that his Red Sox-fan teacher made him hide his Yankees T-shirt from view.

Nathan Johns, a student at Van Buren Elementary School in Baldwinsville, said he wasn't sure what to think at first when his teacher told him to go to the bathroom and turn his Yankees shirt inside out. He said he complied and was later told to wear it that way until dismissal.

"I thought to myself, 'Is he serious or is he kidding?' " the boy said. "But he had this look like he wasn't kidding at all."

He said his teacher, Peter Addabbo, keeps Red Sox paraphernalia on display all over the classroom.

Baldwinsville Schools Superintendent Jeanne Dangle said Friday that the district is conducting an investigation, which will include interviewing other children who were present in the class, and has told the boy's parents she will get back to them on the issue in a few days.

"From a district perspective, we would never support something like that," Dangle said. "But we don't have all the facts yet."

A call to a number listed for a Peter Addabbo in the nearby town of Memphis was not returned Friday.

Oh yes I can. And after going 8-0 against the Yankees, the Red Sox finished the rest of the year against the Bombers at 1-9

Congrats to the 2009 AL East Champion New York Yankees!

Time to get the Raid out... the cockroaches are crawling out of the woodwork.

Just because I don't visit this website and don't post as much as I used to, doesn't mean I'm "coming out of the woodwork." I could say the same for you when earlier in the season Boston was 8-0 against the Yankees and all I heard about was how poorly the Yankees matched up against Boston; about how Boston was going to win the division; about how smart Boston was for getting Penny and Smoltz while the Yankees were stupid for getting CC & AJ. I haven't heard much from you either lately.

We've been through all this before in August.

I've lost a LOT of interest in baseball ... my Boston sweeps posts in this thread were solely to get a rise out of you (and it looks as though I was quite successful).

Show me where I said any of that other stuff (that is in the quote above).

Quick, run for cover I12, the Fair-Weather Fan Detector is coming around.

I'm not saying you exactly said it, but that's all I heard from the media and other people in general. So yes, I shall enjoy this victory for the next 10 days when postseason play begins.

Both teams played very well today. The game was a pleasure to watch, especially since I did get the outcome that I hoped for!

Luckily I was flippin' channels and the Yanks were on ESPN. I got see the last two innings. Can't wait to enjoy some playoff baseball, but not looking forward to the commentary on FOX or ESPN or whoever. And all those meaningless statistics and the anti-Yankee announcers; Buck and McCarver or Miller and Morgan. Give me Sterling and Waldman;...."an A-Bomb from A-Rod and tthe Yankees win, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees....WIN!"

Those are the two most obnoxious calls in baseball.

By the way, I haven't heard David Justice announcing. I guess he's still broadcasting and out of the doghouse.

I hate Buck and McCarver too (especially McCarver) but I don't understand all the hate for Miller and Morgan. I hear that quite often. Honestly, they're my favorite duo calling baseball games today. They seem to be as unbiased as anyone who doesn't work for the YES Network.

I like them too. The criticism that I hear most often about Morgan is that he is pedantic and snobby. I disagree.

McCarver can grate on you, but as far as knowledge of the mechanics, nuances and application of the rules of the game, I think he is unsurpassed. When he was a player, it was widely assumed that he was going to be a manager, but he worked a couple years with Harry Kalas and Whitey Ashburn and embarked on a broadcasting career.

Just win, baby.

So I take it A-Rod has finally been accepted by the fans?

And they did just that. GREAT to see you back DJ!

I take it that people who use words like "grit" to describe players and who think a reliever is more valuable than a starter finally realized that A-Rod is actually a great player?

Been hearing a lot this offseason so far about Damon, Matsui and Pettitte. Personally, I think the Yankees #1 offseason goal should be to trade for Roy Halladay. The Yankees have bats, and yes they'll resign either Damon or Matsui or both. Pettitte will take some time with his decision to pitch again next year. Now is the time to strike for Halladay and ESPECIALLY to keep him away from Boston. I believe Boston's #1 goal this offseason is to get a big bat (namely resign Jason Bay). But their priority isn't pitching, it's hitting. The Yankees top priority should be pitching, not hitting.

The price for Halladay is pretty steep, and veterans won't be in the conversation. When the Phillies were negotiating for him, the Jays never moved from their demand of Kyle Drabeck, Dominic Brown, J Happ and Michael Taylor. I don't think the Yankees can put together a prospect package like that.

But now that J.P. Riccardi is no longer the GM, the Jays have "come down" from their asking price of Joba AND Phil Hughes. Now, it'd take one or the other with some other top prospects. Now, the Yankees aren't paying a "premium" because he's being traded within the AL East.

But don't you think the stock on Joba has dropped after his disappointing finish and exile to situational relief in the postseason? And Hughes, while performing well in relief during the season, wilted under the pressure of October. But, who knows? I guess the Jays will make their best deal, but all things being equal, they're probably reluctant to let him land in the same division if there is considerable interest from outside the division.

True, but how many teams other than the Red Sox and Yankees have the prospects AND money to sign Halladay to at least a $100 million contract extension?

Very true what you said about Joba and Hughes but I'd like to see Joba go for a full season in the rotation without any strings attached and I'd like to see Hughes go a full season in the rotation as well. Who knows, they'd have more time to develop in Toronto than under the microscope of New York. They could develop nicely into anchors of a pitching staff in a less "chaotic" area than New York.

honestly, I would let Damon go. The fans won't be as forgiving if New York lets Matusi go. Even if he's 39, he's still the World Series MVP.

As for Pettite, well he's old too. But shit hopefully the Steinbrenners learned a painful lesson from letting him go the last time. Can I get a Amen here?

As for Halladay, wouldn't be shocked if the Dodgers are who gets him. Boston at this rate is more interested in dicking around the New York paranoia than willing to pay king's ransom for him.

Or are they?

Report: Longtime Yankees voice Sheppard retiring

I didn't think he'd be back, at age 99, but he'll still be missed

man 99 years...started in 51' with mantles first year, and dimaggio's last.

New York Yankees 2009 World Series Championship gear!

What happened to my post after Irishman's picture? His response is gone too. Why was it removed?

???

That's a different thread blib. Check the World Series thread. You got confused cuz Irish made the same post here and there.

I bought my husband a Yankees T Shirt yesterday. It's the headline and photo from the NY Daily News ("27th Heaven") the day after the win. They were actually selling it in the supermarket for $2.49. I figured I could always use it as a stocking stuffer.
