Is right for fans to boo athletes?

My latest column for The Oakland Press: http://bit.ly/hECIXl

Book,

I enjoyed this column very much. I don't personally boo - but going to a ball game wouldn't be the same without it.

I did once have the following experience ...

Every year - my lovely wife Darlene and I splurge on the "expensive seats" in the Tiger Den. We did so one Sunday a couple of years ago when the Yankers were in town. And Leyland had his Sunday lineup in.

The Yanks were just stringing hits and our boys were making errors and stinking up the joint. I stood up amidst the Den of Hoitie Toyties and yell "WAKE UP YOU BUMS!".

And I sat down.

The leers and looks I got were downright offensive.

And I didn't even call them "%#@*-#$%#$@ers".
