The New Yankee Stadium fosters this type of attitude. A moat around the insanely priced seats that are fairly empty. Ownership that lives on the pomp and circumstance of heritage and past glory. Baseball played by the fat book, with little forward thinking and gut. Granderson struck out four times yesterday. Was he booed? Arod has always been difficult to love even in his current elder statesman status. He made a costly error last night. He's not been driving the ball with consistency this year. The thought that the team is obligated for 5 more years at $30M per is daunting (with a deal made when Arod emphatically stated he had no PED past). In the fifth inning, he did have a heroic AB against a premier pitcher at his peak performance, and he was not able to come through. I think the boos are more about cumulative frustration. I love the Yankees and cut my fandom teeth during the darkest days of the late 60's and early seventies. I might not boo Arod, but I don't have to like him. Band Wagon?

It's too bad they nevertheless represent Yankee fans so poorly. [3] Whatever the case, the stadium crowd never defined me. It’s too bad they nevertheless represent Yankee fans so poorly.

Yankee fans used to be as knowledgeable and devoted as they were loud and vulgar. Now the people coming to the Stadium seem to be spoiled and boorish (as well as loud and vulgar). Sorry for the sweeping generalizations. Just talking about what I hear from the telecasts. Who are these idiots booing A-Rod after that monumental, but, alas fruitless at-bat?
