Here I thought that the one guy who yelled at Kris Bryant, “you suck,” during his Chicago Cubs debut three years ago was rough, but that’s nothing compared to Giancarlo Stanton’s home debut with the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
Yeah, no one is going to like sitting in crappy weather and Stanton striking out five times is atrocious, holy crap are Yankees fans just the worst. It’s his first home game of 2018 and with New York leading Stanton still got pelted with boos.

In his next at-bat, Stanton struck out again, and despite the 9-4 lead in the eighth inning, Yankees fans kept launching the boos. They were so prevalent that Yankees’ play-by-play announcer couldn’t help but comment on the boos raining down on Stanton.
