Yes, the Yankee fans booed, but they were booing the opposition in a pennant race, which I find entirely understandable. I guess the excitement of your first race got to your head and colored your judgement. Season yourself some and keep from showing your own lack of class next time, before labeling others. > Well, I`m pleased as punch that the Jays took 3 of 4!
