By booing-fan standards, I’m pretty amateur. I’ve been at Yankee Stadium when marriage proposals on the Jumbo-tron have elicited boos. And during the 2008 Home Run Derby I’m 99.9% sure that one of those kids shagging balls in the outfield got a smattering of boos when he set himself squarely under a high fly ball and then dropped it when it hit off the heel of his glove. Heck, even Wally, the weird Red Sox mascot, heard an earful of boos when all the MLB mascots were introduced before the All-Star Game at Old Yankee Stadium. To Wally’s credit, he knew he was in hostile territory, and in true mascot form he egged on the boos as soon as they started.
