Who else besides Reggie in NY and Schmidt in Philly would get the cat calls from the home crowd ?

    back in the 1950s, Ted Williams misplayed a fly ball to lose a game and a chorus of boos followed. Ted then spit at the fans when leaving the field. as the boos continued, he popped back out of the dugout and spit at them again.

    Williams always had an "uneasy" relationship with the fans.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    They booed Mantle when he wasn't Dimaggio, then they booed Maris when they decided Mickey was ok.

    Yankee fans have a history of it. It probably comes from the feeling of entitlement.

    Did Arod get it in NY ?
    Probably not in Seattle?

    I never liked the Philly boos towards Schmidt. Never did any of those boos come from me.

    Basically the boos came from fans who didn't fully understand the game, and don't know the fact that power hitters do strike out a lot.

    I think Philly fans are mostly from Chester. If you know... you know.

    Ok, but Not a hall of famer and never will be.

    Silly that Parker (and Mattingly and Hernandez) aren’t in when Bill Mazeroski is. But everyone knows that.
