Those of you who are baseball fans are aware that the Major League All Star Game was tonight on Fox. The game was held at Yankee Stadium. In their typical low class asshattery the Yankee fans booed every single Red Sox Player that set foot on the field, including the Manager Terry Francona who by the way won the World Series Last Year.. wait what? Jealous?
But they showed their true colors when Jonathan Papelbon took to the field. They booed his every pitch and chanted “Over Rated” among other bullshit. This was due to some comments that he made earlier in the week saying that he should close the game and not Mariano Rivera. First off, this guy is a competitor and his job is to win and be the best he can be at his role. Of course he is going to want to pitch the 9th inning at the Major League All Star Game. Should he have opened his yap? Probably not. But the NYY fans and media took it to the typical extremes of booing his every move.
They even booed him, and his family on the Major League Parade earlier in the day. They booed him and his pregnant wife on the red carpet before the game causing her to fear for her safety. It’s one thing to love the game, and the rivalry that NYY and BOS hold, its another all together to be completely disrespectful to the players of this game who regardless of their team are All Stars of the MLB. Today was a day to celebrate Baseball in one of its greatest stadiums. It was a day to admire and pay homage to the greatest players of the game. But thanks to typical Yankee fan actions and the NYC Media this day will be forever scarred in history.
Way to go Yankee fans and the New York Media!
