Rogers Roundly Booed
Kenny Rogers was loudly booed when he came out to pitch. The NESN broadcast has the stands well miked, so we'll get a good idea how the fans treat Rogers throughout the game.
I wasn't particularly impressed by the level of booing. Fenway can be much louder than that.
Good. That unrepentant SOB (his apology was late and weak) deserves all the opprobrium he gets and the arbitrator was dead wrong to let him return early, as I argued here.
Wrong message by the arbitrator, right message from the Blosax's fans.
