I guess if we allowed fighting in baseball games, then we too could have civilized handshakes later on.

Hockey players get to vent their frustrations continuously throughout the game. Ball players have to behave nicely to avoid ejection, and have pent-up hostilities building during the game. And instead of a good hard body-check into the boards, they have the Force Play Slide Rule. Wouldn't you be frustrated too?
