Second off, He was booed at Yankee stadium two seasons ago. YOU BOOED MARIANO RIVERA. Are you serious? This man is the reason you won 5 world series since 96. Without him, you would have been just as good as everybody else, he was the difference maker, and he was booed. I still will never fathom that.

I don't know why Chris has so much animosity towards Yankee fans.
Last time I checked he wasn't a Mets fan.

Yes, Yankee fans did Boo Rivera.
Though, you aren't painting a complete picture.

He was Booed in 2005.
The Year after the worst postseason collapse in sports history. (Yes, I said it )
We opened that season against the Sox.
Rivera's first 2 save opportunities, he blew to the Sox.
That's when he was booed.
While I don't agree with that, I am willing to say the fans had a little bit of pent up frustration, and the boos weren't 100% directed at him.
Actually the point is moot!
Real Yankee fans don't go to Yankee games, they cant afford it!
