Of course, if you wanted to pick a venue where Sarah Palin (or any other Goober pretty much) was <em>most</em> likely to be roundly booed, you&#039;d pick any Philadelphia team, or maybe the Knicks or my beloved Mets - fanbases that boo their own players (or even Santa Claus) at that drop of a hat from cities that vote overwhelmingly Democratic.
I have no problem with fans booing people who have nothing to do with the game.
Heck, I was at Candlestick Park when Alan Ginsberg read a &quot;tone poem&quot; before a game. Talk about booing! You woulda thought Old Lassagna Breath himself, Tommy Lasorda, was trapsing across the infield.
The only time I think players should be boo&#039;d is for an obvious lack of effort.
Regarding Mr. Obama, I was just pointing out it&#039;s not exactly news that a politician got boo&#039;d at a baseball game. I&#039;m going to guess the last elected official who didn&#039;t get that treatment at the ballyard was Gentleman Jimmy Walker.
Mint Mormoney would have gotten the same, and probably worse. Folks come to the ballpark to get away from politics. Just wasn&#039;t a good idea, period.
I think Buckner got forgiven, finally, after 2004 -- he got cheered at the 2005 presentation of the rings. He&#039;s been elevated in status to just one of the many who labored so long in futility. (If they were still looking for that first title, of course, he&#039;d still be dirt.)
Speaking of which, I&#039;m off to the Mets game tonite, to cheer on the Giants. Later!
Ah yes of course. I struggle to remember which car burning incidents are related to which results for which teams sometimes :P Although I do find that when in doubt, UWV hoops is probably a good guess.

Kinda makes you suspect.
Oh, you and your ...... reality.
It&#039;ll never catch on.

Too subtle.
I could have told him not to wear that damned Yankees cap.

&quot;Staged&quot; being the operative word. The Dems, to their credit, fail abysmally at thinking that way
And/or Aaron F. Boone.

Being of an Islander persuasion, I find myself compelled to support whoever the Flyers are against.
So &quot;go... err... lemme check quickly... Pens!&quot; ;)
(P.S., you forgot the burning of cars. Or do they only do that when they win?)
I come from a very Flyered up family. They better bring it Sunday! It&#039;s a noon game, Barb, FYI.

So, this Fehrnstrom fellow. Isn&#039;t he some kind of &quot;campaign guy&quot; for one of the Republican opponents of the President?
Should we be surprised that he would portray this event in the most negative-to-the- President way possible?
Maybe he shouldn&#039;t have worn that White Sox hat in the video.
I didn&#039;t know you were a Philly girl, Barb! Bryz better step it up tonight!
Like Marge Schott, maybe Fenway doesn&#039;t like &quot;million dollar N**gers.&quot;
