Why Do We Give Our Kids So Many Trophies?

If the Red Sox come out swinging in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals, it may only be a matter of time before David Ortiz, Jonny Gomes and Mike Napoli are hoisting the Commissioner's Trophy above their heads in triumph. It will be payment for a grueling season that began February 11th.

But would it make sense if everybody else in the MLB got trophies, too? Ashley Merryman says no. Merryman says we've fallen victim to the "trophy-industrial complex," and need to teach our kids the meaning of wins and losses.
