I&#8217;m a 13-year-old boy, and most importantly, an avid baseball fan. I have been playing baseball for over six years now, and I have fond memories of watching games with my family.<\/p>\n<p>A month ago, before the playoffs, I went to a New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals game with my dad. I wore a Mets jersey and a Nationals hat, even though they are rivals. I chanted and cheered for both teams! <\/p>\n<p>But even crazier, I&#8217;m a Yankee fan \u2026 AND a Red Sox fan! Nobody can believe that I am on both sides of arguably the most famous sports rivalry of all time! <\/p>\n<p>Get this: I also root for the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, and Tampa Bay Rays!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-left embed--size-small\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/26\/7d6677d7-6a8d-4dad-bb70-86bb7ebb5624\/thumbnail\/620x827\/a81823f496a9501e14cbb9af51070121\/multi-team-baseball-cap.jpg#\" alt=\"multi-team-baseball-cap.jpg \" height=\"827\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/26\/7d6677d7-6a8d-4dad-bb70-86bb7ebb5624\/thumbnail\/620x827\/a81823f496a9501e14cbb9af51070121\/multi-team-baseball-cap.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/10\/26\/7d6677d7-6a8d-4dad-bb70-86bb7ebb5624\/thumbnail\/1240x1654\/043ccdc73270efc3800002e152c6c5b8\/multi-team-baseball-cap.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Augustus Salie-Semel spreads the team loyalty around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Augustus Salie-Semel<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>People are incredulous, bordering on doubtful, that I can share my fandom with more than one franchise.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s my secret to my fanship of many teams: tolerance. I believe that there is a way to appreciate one side (or in this case, team) and not hate the other. <\/p>\n<p>While the Yankees\/Red Sox rivalry is &#8220;just&#8221; a relationship between two sports teams, this beef reminds me of a problem we seem to have in our country today. Instead of being open-minded and embracing, we close our hearts and minds to people with different beliefs, making our population very polarized. <\/p>\n<p>What if we learned to increase our curiosity \u2014 and maybe even kindness \u2014 towards folks we disagree with? What if we didn&#8217;t <em>jeer<\/em> at them? <\/p>\n<p>I believe that if Americans learned not to hate the opposition, we could create a better and less extreme nation.<\/p>\n<p>If you love baseball, you can embrace more than one team. And if you really love America, you don&#8217;t have to boo the other side.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<br \/><em>Story produced by Young Kim.
