I saw a weekday afternoon game at the old stadium in Philidelphia (the Vet??) back in the 80's. The Phils lost 3-2 or some such and the great Mike Schmidt had hit a homer in his first or second at bat, basically the only guy who hit at all that day. He had also saved a run with a great diving stop in the later innings.

So he comes up with men on base in like the eighth inning with two out. Grounds out to second. There were only a couple thousand people in the stands but at least half of them booed him like he was a bum for grounding out. What have you done for us lately, man?

Gotta love Philly sports fans. What a town!
