I think if I got my butt whipped, and my dreams crushed and heart broken, I rather skip a hearty, smiling handshake from the winner.
I know they do it in football, but thanks, but no thanks.

It’s not different than any other World Series, the winning team always celebrates on the field, while the losing team quietly goes to the lockerroom.
Hockey is the only sport where the two teams shake hands at the end of the series.

I've been following baseball since the mid-70s and I can't remember a time when there was any post-game handshaking.
It's traditional in football for the coaches to shake hands after a game.
College basketball teams often shake hands with the opposing coaches and players.

This has never been a custom in major league baseball, not sure why it has suddenly been noticed by this author.
It reminds me of the 2004 National League division series. At the request of Canadian-born Larry Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals, the Dodgers and Cardinals shook hands at the end of the series, mush like they do in the NHL during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Walker said it was a tradition that didn't catch on, and as far as I know, remains the only time it has happened in MLB.

Not one member of the Braves, from owners to managers to players, even mentioned the Astros. The losing team was just mercilessly left to lick their wounds on their own.
The Astros have been caught cheating in past playoffs and World Series, using cameras to steal signs, etc. Let's see what happens when one of the teams isn't the Astros. It's kind of dopey that they wound up in the American League.

I guess the rabbi does not watch the World Series often. Usually the players compliment the other team during the press conference afterwards or during locker room interviews. Handshakes would be discouraged in the Age of Fauci.
I gave up on MLB when it became BLM. The final straw was penalizing Atlanta for passing a voting law. I don't need the MLBLM to decide what laws a state can pass. It was fun here in Houston to see so many people wearing their Astros garb during the series, but I didn't watch it.

MLB, as far as I can tell, has never had team handshakes after a game or a series.
Interestingly, the last time the Braves had a similar year was 1914, when the Boston Braves were in last place halfway through the season, then zoomed up to first, then as the very-much-underdogs beat the Philadelphia Athletics in four straight, the first time a 4-0 World Series had ever happened (cf. here). I wonder whether the ending of game 4 was similar to today, with the Braves celebrating (at Fenway), and the As skulking off to the locker room on their way back to Philly.

Probably due to covid protocols. They are not allowed to shake hands.
