    I was under the impression that the New York fans were like this to
most other teams (at least any that can cause trouble).  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".
Of course some may commute, or may have been visiting...
