Isn't that why they call the stadium "The Bronx Zoo"? Besides, how many of the Blue Jay players are Canadian, or feel something special for Canada? Booing our national anthem is indeed a lousy thing to do, but I doubt that it bothered the Jays it just bothered most Canadians who heard about it. My wife's reply, on hearing about the booing and that singer messing up, was "What do you expect from a bunch of people that would live in a place like New York".
