As a Yankee fan, sitting on my couch watching the moment where the crowd was on their fan chanting "we want Soto" with Grisham up in a game winning situation with two runners on base. I was rooting for Juan Soto to come off the bench in this situation as well - not to dis Grisham but because I revere and respect Juan Soto for what he has done for our team this year. It was about track records, and I was cheering so loudly and proudly for Grisham rising above the stats and the audience and proving his worth, turning the jeers to cheers. As a Yankee fan, I never boo my team no matter who is struggling or how. I hate when others do. I would never boo Judge, and knew he would turn around after his cold start in April. I only hope for the best in every situation and Trent Grisham deserves respect for what he did in that moment. I had alot of respect for Aaron Judge's reaction after the game. He supports his teammates no matter what and is an exemplary captain. I was so angry with the fair weather fans who booed Judge in April, who booed him in the 2022 postseason, like STAND UP WITH OUR GUY AND CHEER HIM ON!
Yankee fan here and I hate it when the toxic section of our fan base boos our own guys and the disrespect to Grish had me and my gf flabbergasted. Hate that they make the rest of us look bad
I'm an A's fan, and we don't boo our players, the only players I have ever heard booed at the Coliseum were Yankees players. When our players are in a sub .200 hitting slump we start chants supporting them. Like the chant "I believe in Stephen Vogt!"
On the whole, you're right that we don't (normally) boo our own players. But I've heard A's players (Jim Johnson in 2014 for instance) booed by A's fans, so it's not like it never happens
@@unclejune2839 I moved before they did, they'll be closer now and I can justify the cost of seeing them next season. I don't want them to move, but I blame John Fisher and not the team. I think they should stay in Oakland though. I think John Fisher should have bought the other half of the land that the Coliseum complex is on and then rebuilt both the Arena and the Coliseum. Instead he's sold the A's half to the "sports" development company that Bought Oakland's half.
As a Yankee fan I totally agree with you. The fans shouldn’t have been calling for Soto during Grisham’s a bat, l’m glad he blasted that ball at that very moment. And for fans that don’t know Trent Grisham is an awesome player and plays a kick a** outfield. One of the best outfielders I’ve ever seen.
Phillies fans wouldn’t do this. Honestly I don’t think any fans but New York fans would, fat weird people. They also chanted for am injured Juan Soto (up a lot in division, in early June) and embarrassed themselves when he hit a Homer. Fanbase is lame. Philly wouldn’t go that far and I’m disappointed with us of late by kidding Trae turners ass.. although that paid off. Still hated it
@@basedjenny7362 You’re calling people mouth breathers on the internet because they chanted a players name. You’re offended enough to put in that effort, publicly crying. Own it or not it’s reality.
Yankees fan here. The Yankees booing Aaron Judge in April of this year was the last straw for me. I hate the booing and we've gotta stop doing it when someone has a bad week. We're doing absolutely fantastic, and lets enjoy it.
Judge is actually the one guy on this team who would take boos as motivation. He's shown that it clearly doesn't affect him. I just wish the fanbase didn't boo so frequently and tried to better understand what the players need from them.
@@BillTheWarriorIt happened to Big G last year too. It obviously motivated him because he’s come back this year much leaner and hitting absolute piss missles.
@@BillTheWarrior yup. He was awful last year after we gave him that payday. He came back this year and he’s an absolute beast. And what do we do? Shower him with praise, standing ovations after a start, etc. We’re willing to give players the benefit of the doubt when we know they can perform, but if you suck long enough…yeah, you’re gonna hear it. That’s just how we do it. If you can’t handle it, I got nothing for you. Go play in Cleveland or something I guess.
As a Yankees fan half the people who boo our unmatched stars usually are only classified as fans because they say they are real fans get upset and forget. For players who suck we will let them have it if they suck long enough. Example being Aaron Hicks.
Dodgers went 2 for 3 against the Yankees at home, so that was nice. If Yankees players are sensitive to booing, pray they don't get traded to Philly or Boston.
@@ghostprodiqy8709 Boston fans are literally racist. Would shout slurs at Adam jones for years. Sooooo idk about you I’d take a couple boos 🤷🏻♂️. Also they hated verdugo for no reason and he’s being treated like a king in NY
I feel like this vid misses a lot of the marks. The fans booing honestly dont represent a lot of the Yankee fans, but at the same time the expectations are rightfully high for players to perform at least decently, if not superb. Even with things like the “we want Soto” chant i personally felt like it was more of a chant for Soto appreciation than an attack on Grisham (although with his bad batting average I can understand why that may not be so) I’ve never booed any player because I just dont think it’s a nice thing to do, but I’d say there’s a lot more to consider about the fanbase than just “they’re disrespectful fans and need to stop”.
I BLEED pinstripes and those are not our fans! I don't know who the hell in their right or otherwise mind doesn't realize this is a bleeding TEAM SPORT! DAMN, that makes my blood boil!
@@alexdotdash7731 yeah its the same fans that I mean literally wanted judge TRADED at the start of the season, I'm just shocked at the stadium the boo's add up and stuff because honestly you look at like yankees accounts online and comments and sure there might be a few people making some stupid takes or like hating on someone after a bad game whether its a pitcher or a hitter, but most of the comments are like positive and stuff which makes me shocked how so many people do end up booing at the stadium
I have to agree with Aaron Judge. Been a NYY since the 1950’s. I remember the NYY fans booed Mickey Mantle. In 1961 the fans booed Roger Maris when he had his greatest year. Hitting 61 homers. As 12 years old. I thought it was absurd. Great NYY team that year.
Me and my buddies traveled across the country to watch this series. We’re sitting there hearing the “WE WANT SOTO” chants. My friend and I look at each other and say “you know, he’s got a chance to do something real funny right now” 🤣🤣🤣 boom! 💥 Those Yankee fans are a different breed, for better or for worse but they’re just different lol
I get booing players with how their preforming but at the same time though it is odd to do it like 5 games into them playing a season or postseason. Now if the slump continues that I get
I was at the royals game Tuesday they lost 10-1 to the Yankees the only Yankees fans I saw 9-10 were negative one guy tried to fight a whole gang of royals die hards while only yelling scoreboard. Then he got taken out of the game and I followed and he started crying so he could go back to his seat he acting tuff then gets called out and instantly crumbled I had a good giggle
Great point. I was at the aaron judge bobble head game and I honestly was confused and disgusted by the boos. I couldnt believe how loud the stadium was with boos for him. Even Vergugo was boo'd during the player roll call before the game. Such a bad look. Soto can turn around and stick the finger up to the fan base and take a huge contract across town potentially.
As a Yankees fan I agree with this. I feel players shouldn’t be booed for having bad performances unless it’s an extremely long bad stretch & bad pivotal playoffs moments that could literally cause us the season.
Agree 💯 PERCENT! I’m a Huge Yankees Fan born and raised in the Bronx, my great grand mother lived walking distance from the Stadium. I’m glad Trent hit it out that game!
Recently attended a game in Tampa against the Yanks. The New York fans are insufferable - constant heckling, booing, picking at locals in the stands. Reminds me of the same shitty fans that show up at Coors when the Dodgers come to town. Why can't people just root for their team and enjoy healthy competition and great athleticism?
i've seen one yankees game and i remember booing only one person... angel hernandez. It was a yankees vs blue jays game, and I was an undercover Red Sox fan, so I booed the ump. I didn't hear anyone booing players. The yankees fans were still cool and didn't boo their fans, they had respect. Also because I'm also a Giants fan, I have seen Dodgers fans booing their players, because Dodgers fan can be like that. Giants fans don't, we got a great thing going at AT&T.
yankees and astros for the championship series, coming from an astros fan, i want yankees and dodgers for ws, their series last week was crazyyy and i would be more excited to watch it tbh
As a Yankee fan, sitting on my couch watching the moment where the crowd was on their fan chanting "we want Soto" with Grisham up in a game winning situation with two runners on base. I was rooting for Juan Soto to come off the bench in this situation as well - not to dis Grisham but because I revere and respect Juan Soto for what he has done for our team this year. It was about track records, and I was cheering so loudly and proudly for Grisham rising above the stats and the audience and proving his worth, turning the jeers to cheers.

I will never speak for all yankees fans, we are very critical of the team we cheer for.....i guess many of us have grown to be spoiled by championships and the franchise's history......I remember growing up and watching a game where Derek Jeter was even booed.....i do give credit and respect to those who succeed in ny or even play in pinstripes......no way to look at it but we just dont like to lose.....i guess that's why a lot of people dont like us and i respect that
As a Yankee fan myself, I fully support the booing. No matter the circumstance, if you are not coming through to help your team win, then you are not at a satisfactory level and we need to let you know that. You don’t win a WS championship by cheering that they’re doing great when they have less than .200 average, that just says that the skill level doesn’t matter. The skill level does matter, and we want a team with good players. If you’re not playing well, you get booed. Also, I was at the “We want Soto!” game and I stand by the cheering. A player with a .090 average was up in replacement of a player with an average of .300, with two outs, and a runner in scoring position, and you expect me not to ask for the .300 who’s only out due to inflammation? Then Grisham hits a home run, and this just tells me that Grisham heard the chants, and decided that he wanted to prove to the fans he was good enough as well. Grisham had done nothing the rest of the series when he wasn’t being booed, clearly being told he wasn’t doing good, and being asked to be replaced gave him the motivation he needed to hit that home run.
I get where you’re coming from. Me personally I wouldn’t ‘boo’ but that chant I understand. It was a perfect spot for Soto who according to Boone could’ve played they just decided to be cautious. If I remember correctly I turned to my gf and said to her if they do decide to put in Soto it would be in this exact spot. Also going from Soto to Grisham the contrast in batting average is so glaring that you honestly expected him to strike out (he’s been horrendous offensively). So if chanting is what it took for him to finally do something for the team then so be it 😂
Absolutely agree, the fact you boo your own legends after a few bad games is disgusting. Its not like they aren't the only hall of famers who had slumps. As a Yankees fan, I get behind every player and defend them.
it's inherently disrespectful but not personal. i think booing is fine from a crazy franchise like NY who spend the most and, as you pointed out, expect the most
it's more about the sample our fans do it in like judge at the beginning and getting worried, I literally would tell people unless judge is still hitting like .200 at the all star break then he's completely fine and not shockingly his stats don't even look like he ever had that streak
If I was an MVP or a leader in a statistical category or a team Captain, etc., and my home team booed me when I'm honestly trying and in a slump, I would be GONE in free agency and I would tell them why I left.
As a Yankee fan, I wholeheartedly approve of anyone trashing the fans who boo players because they aren't getting good results. Booing a player because his numbers are bad doesn't accomplish a thing. It could either have no effect or it could make the player get in their head and end up playing worse. The only time players should be getting booed is when they aren't making an effort or they're an asshole. Then boo all you want. Joey Gallo deserved to get booed. He wouldn't make the effort to change his approach. Aaron Hicks deserved the boos. He would take plays off and just seemed to play lazy baseball. Stanton had bad numbers, but not bad effort. As evidence look at how he transformed his body coming into the 2024 season. He worked his ass off to get better. Aaron Judge. What can I say. I will start with, if you are a Yankee fan and booed Judge. Please find another team to root for. You don't deserve to watch him do the insane things he can do. He is the best hitter in baseball and it isn't particularly close. He gives max effort all the time. He hustles to track down plays in the field. He hustles out of the box and is actually a very good baserunner, if not all that fast. He always says the right thing. Always chats up the fans and treats them well. As good a teammate as their is in the game. Seriously you unbelievable idiots... What the HELL are you booing him for? A bad 20 game stretch? Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be associated with many of my fellow Yankee fans.
Never heard such loud booing as I did in LA when kenley Jansen was imploding with the dodgers. He blew a save and you couldn't even hear the organ during the pitching change because the boos were so loud. 56,000 fans booing in unison. Crazy experience
I boo in Seattle because it’s a fan base that has accepted losing for too long. The fans at the stadium seem ready to accept any and all “feel good” stories of players. I push back by booing, if the organization doesn’t like it then build a better team.
Should also remember Trea Turner’s slow start to his Phillies career when he got repeatedly booed, then one day the fans decided to give him a standing ovation and everything turned around for him, for the better.
I have conflicting feelings about this. Firstly, I think it needs to be said that not all "boos" mean the same thing. Fans in North East cities wear their hearts on their sleeves and a "boo" (i.e., "Bronx Cheer" in Yankee parlance) can be a sign of respect for an opponent, or just an expression of disappointment about a situation and not necessarily directed at a player (although sometimes it's that too). Fans don't come to the ballpark to sit on their hands; it's to have fun and be part of an experience. Also, this isn't Little League where athletes should be expected to be treated as children. Cheers and boos should be viewed as an in-the-moment sentiment meter, not a referendum on one's self-worth or taken personally. Any adult athlete who is seriously bothered by it needs to "Lighten up, Francis" (*Stripes) and/or use it as motivation. On the other hand, it should also be noted that it's only a (lesser) percentage of fans that seem to be heard so loudly and that, overall, sports figures here are probably more honored and revered than they are anywhere else. it's all part of the social contract that exists between our professional athletes and rabid fanbases.
Im a Yankee fan and I was there when Grisham was being boo’d and everyone was chanting we want Soto 😂 but I didn’t cheer. At the end of the day everyone has bad days and good days. As long as you’re trying your hardest and giving it your all I can handle bad days.
Listen, I'm as diehard of a Yankee fan as they come and while I wouldn't have dared to chant "we want Soto" when Grisham was up, you have to admit that the fans chanting that in that moment were pretty fucking based.
I was at the game and witnessed the “we want Soto” fiasco in-person. 90+% of the Yankees fans there were appalled by it, and truly the chant came from one specific corner of the stadium (to my eye/ear it was the folks in the section right next to the bleacher creatures, and maybe some of them participated too). That 3 run homer was an EXCELLENT clap back, especially considering the fact it landed right where the chants originated from 😂😂😂 I’m proud to say those assholes put their tail between their legs and chanted “we want Grisham” the next time he went up to bat.
I’ve noticed that generally East Coast baseball fans are notorious for booing their baseball stars. It’s crazy. Especially in NY. If I was a baseball star, I wouldn’t sign up with the Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Red Sox. I hope the Yankees don’t win, the fans NEED to suffer.
I feel like the best fans are Midwest fans this is coming from an east coast Mets fan himself but they seem a good combo of chill but also into the game
This has always been a problem with our fan base but I really believe social media has made it worse. People are too used to being nasty with no consequences. These fans booing would never do it to the players face but sitting in section 410 they feel tough lol
I’m a Yankees fan, die hard, and if you type in “judge saying he’s the best player on the team “ you will see why he deserves to get booed. That changed my thoughts on judge ever since!
I never understood booing Judge. He's way too good to not come around and he seems like a nice guy. Oh the other hand, booing Alex Rodriguez is perfectly acceptable and to be encouraged. He had a portrait of himself as a minotaur in his home.
I think youll find in the D-backs example, fans tend to have much shorter patience with guys they just signed and haven't seen succeed. Monty just looked great against them in the WS, and now that he's in their colors he's putting up stinker after stinker.
Your example is they booed judge cause he was off to a notoriously slow start worst stretch of baseball of his life. They expected more gave him contract of someone who plays better. He acknowledged the boos then proceeds in playing the best baseball of his career. Same exact thing can be applied to rodon. Players know what they’re getting into when signing to play for the Yankees. Just don’t sign up to play in the Bronx then. I personally wouldn’t boo someone like Trent or ask for another player that’s disrespectful. But these are professional athletes, and the dog in them usually comes out when facing diversity and accountability from fans which is always cool to see. If they fold under the pressure they’re simply not built to play in NY. NYC isn’t for everybody. I.e Sonny gray amazing pitcher outside of the Bronx or even the Midwest transplant that moves to the city but is scared to get on the subway. I personally fully agree with booing Stanton after paying him so much and him underperforming and rodon in his first season and judge after a month of really bad ball.
I'm a Yankee fan and I have never ever cared about how they played unless if there's been a huge disaster by one of the players that lasts for a very long time
40 pennants and 27 world championships require rabid fans. The Yankees have GOT to play well. I disagree with your assessment that the bullpen this year has been good. They have not been. They have on quite a few occasions nearly lost games for the yanks. If there is a weakness in this team, it is the bullpen and players who swing at balls far far outside the strike zone. If they clear those two things up, they will win another world championship.
Among bullpens league wide ERA, third WHIP, fifth Saves, tied second Hits allowed, fourth Total Earned Runs, second Not sure what you think a good bullpen looks like, but I think your expectations are absurdly high if you think that doesn't qualify as a good pen.
I have always found it amazing that players are willing to take the big money in NY when you have possibly the most insufferable group of people “rooting” for you (aside from Philly fans of course)
Interesting because the players that have enough class to handle it usually say nothing but positive things about our fanbase. When you go into the stadium, you know fully well you may be heckled and booed, but you chose to play and be an athlete. If you can’t handle that’s on you, and many players with enough class will choose to sign with us.
That's because the assholes booing aren't the majority. Most of us don't boo our own guys. We show love. And continue to show love well after they're retired. Even if it weren't an asshole thing to do, it would shot I'll be stupid and counterproductive. There is a zero percent chance that booing a baseball player, who is not lacking in effort, will help them improve. The sport just doesn't work that way. So all the booing can accomplish is either nothing at all or it can get the player in their head and pressing, which leads to them getting worse. When Aaron Judge was batting .189 he didn't need you to boo him in order to let him know it wasn't good enough. I tell you with total certainty that there is not a human being who felt more upset about Judges first 20 or so games than Judge himself. Your boos did nothing whatsoever outside of potentially pushing Judge to a point where he won't want to engage with fans anymore. Stop hurting out or team with this idiocy.
The " we want Soto" thong made zero sense. He was INJURED. If you follow the team even a little, you know he's just not an option in that moment. That would be like them chanting "We want Cole"
i agree the "we want soto" chants were uncalled for, however I was at that game and at grishams next AB the same people made up for it and chanted "we want grisham." No hate at all, I just think that redeems us yankees fan a tiny bit
No matter how dominant you can be as a Yankee, the fanbase will still find a way to hate on the guys. Why not just enjoy the moment that this team is dominating atm? Nothing wrong on doing so considering that people tend to have bad games and it is the least of our worries as a Yankee Fan.
Booing your own team is just completely stupid. I get wanting people to perform for how much they’re getting paid, but these fans are worse than literal children who refuse to listen. Booing your team won’t make them better.
Yankees fans booed freaking Derek Jeter during a hitting slump in one of the 2000 seasons and Derek won the franchise 5 championships. The Yankees All-time leader in Hits, Doubles, Stolen bases, multiple postseason stats got booed. Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, and Juan Soto hasn't won a ring for the Yankees (Yet). They won't get special treatment until they win the Yankees a ring. Yankees fans are tired of hearing 2009 being the last ring and Astros fans saying they own us despite their cheating the game.
You wouldn’t believe the bad takes on Judge that I’ve heard. Absolutely ridiculous! As long as he was not injured it was a cinch that Judge was going to be good. Also don’t those idiots understand that if Soto wasn’t hurt he’d have been playing? WTF?!?!
I thought it was bad enough when fans started booing the opposing team for no reason (like for pick-off moves to first). Or random dudes yelling unintelligible things at the top of their lungs. I don't remember that nonsense happening when I was a kid. But now booing your own team? Really? Maybe it's narcissism taken to its extreme. You just have to let everyone around you know what you're feeling. You can't not express your displeasure. That would require self-control, awareness of those around you, and some measure of emotional regulation.
Booing a player that not only isn’t performing well but performing horribly, how can you blame the fan? I love Aaron Judge but April was incredibly hard to watch.
The reason we boo is because we want to cheer. Yeah, it’s harsh, but when you put on those pinstripes you’re standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before you. You’re standing on a tradition of champions. Yes, we expect a lot and some can’t handle the pressure. Those that can are a different breed. Jeter even said as much to President Bush after 9/11; “pitch from the mound and don’t bounce it. They’ll boo you if you bounce it.”
Another thing, $1B contacts & tkt prices. Let that sink in & getting mobbed by Pantone 294, Mets haggling, Cole couldn't pitch against that. Let that sink in as well
I like to believe that 90% of Yankees fans know almost nothing about the game of baseball, and only watch the teams when they're good. Booing literal stars for having like three rough innings or at bats is simply ridiculous.
Being a Yankee fan is best when you straight up dont interact with other yankee fans. Going to the live games is more often than not a bad experience because of the fans.
We should stop booing our own because it’s douche behavior, but also we look like fools who don’t understand the ebbs and flows of baseball. The fans who called for Judge to sit in April should have a one year comment ban.
I as a Yankee fan I guarantee a good percentage of the people booing any one of those superstars would fight someone in bar over that same player if someone said they were trash. That's just the culture of he fan base they love hard they hate hard. It's been that way forever at this point it's a players fault if they didn't know this was how it was going to be when they signed.
I don't boo the team but a championship would help. Ultimately being this good in June means nothing, this team will only be remembered with a championship. End of story. Will just have to wait.
I do not know if it´s a true story or not. But, I once read that Albert Einstein started counting from 1 to 100 in front of a classroom and when he got to 98 he missed 99 and finished with 100. A student called him out and said: Hey professor, you missed 99. Albert Einstein replied, Yes I know, but you didn´t take into account that out of 100 I only missed once, and that I was right 99 out of 100? There is your answer about human ego and judgement and hipocrisy!
What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are….booooooooo!!!!! Wasted attempt at content. It’s NYC - that’s a thing- right to boooo is like free speech and especially at the price of going to a game. Probably a dumb thing to do if you are truly hoping to impact a player’s performance positively. But fans’ right to do .

Yankees fan here. The Yankees booing Aaron Judge in April of this year was the last straw for me. I hate the booing and we've gotta stop doing it when someone has a bad week. We're doing absolutely fantastic, and lets enjoy it.
Judge is actually the one guy on this team who would take boos as motivation. He's shown that it clearly doesn't affect him. I just wish the fanbase didn't boo so frequently and tried to better understand what the players need from them.

@@BillTheWarrior yup. He was awful last year after we gave him that payday. He came back this year and he’s an absolute beast. And what do we do? Shower him with praise, standing ovations after a start, etc. We’re willing to give players the benefit of the doubt when we know they can perform, but if you suck long enough…yeah, you’re gonna hear it. That’s just how we do it. If you can’t handle it, I got nothing for you. Go play in Cleveland or something I guess.
All the Yankees fans booing judge I hope look stupid
As a Yankees fan half the people who boo our unmatched stars usually are only classified as fans because they say they are real fans get upset and forget. For players who suck we will let them have it if they suck long enough. Example being Aaron Hicks.
it doesn't matter Yankees aren;t winning the World Series this year. They may in the future but definitely not this year
@@matthewwang1075 Did you even read the fucking comment or do you just hate the Yankees
@@saber6855 no i didn't read the fucking comment. I just saw ur profile pic😂.
@@matthewwang1075 I fw that
Look mom, an idiot who can't read.
Yankees fans booing? Color me surprised.
Also, I don’t feel sorry for Judge since he decided to stay there
Lifelong Yankee fan here, and I agreee with your take 100%
Ofcourse you do
They booed Derek Jeter. DEREK! JETER!! Because he had a slow start to the year. This "fan base" needs a one-way trip to The Phantom Zone
I’m so blessed to have seen my Yankees in the late 90s .. My goodness were those teams just incredible
Dodgers went 2 for 3 against the Yankees at home, so that was nice.
If Yankees players are sensitive to booing, pray they don't get traded to Philly or Boston.
Bronx is worse than Philly and Boston combined
@@ghostprodiqy8709 Boston fans are literally racist. Would shout slurs at Adam jones for years. Sooooo idk about you I’d take a couple boos 🤷🏻♂️. Also they hated verdugo for no reason and he’s being treated like a king in NY
@@ghostprodiqy8709Was gonna say the same thing. This dude apparently doesn't watch much baseball. Yankees fans are spoiled petulant children
I feel like this vid misses a lot of the marks. The fans booing honestly dont represent a lot of the Yankee fans, but at the same time the expectations are rightfully high for players to perform at least decently, if not superb. Even with things like the “we want Soto” chant i personally felt like it was more of a chant for Soto appreciation than an attack on Grisham (although with his bad batting average I can understand why that may not be so)
I’ve never booed any player because I just dont think it’s a nice thing to do, but I’d say there’s a lot more to consider about the fanbase than just “they’re disrespectful fans and need to stop”.
True, but booing Judge in April?
I BLEED pinstripes and those are not our fans! I don't know who the hell in their right or otherwise mind doesn't realize this is a bleeding TEAM SPORT! DAMN, that makes my blood boil!
I feel it’s all the casual fans who have no faith in the players…
@@alexdotdash7731 yeah its the same fans that I mean literally wanted judge TRADED at the start of the season, I'm just shocked at the stadium the boo's add up and stuff because honestly you look at like yankees accounts online and comments and sure there might be a few people making some stupid takes or like hating on someone after a bad game whether its a pitcher or a hitter, but most of the comments are like positive and stuff which makes me shocked how so many people do end up booing at the stadium
I have to agree with Aaron Judge. Been a NYY since the 1950’s. I remember the NYY fans booed Mickey Mantle. In 1961 the fans booed Roger Maris when he had his greatest year. Hitting 61 homers. As 12 years old. I thought it was absurd. Great NYY team that year.
Mickey had 53 homers also. Competition and the friendship between the 2 was excellent
Me and my buddies traveled across the country to watch this series. We’re sitting there hearing the “WE WANT SOTO” chants. My friend and I look at each other and say “you know, he’s got a chance to do something real funny right now” 🤣🤣🤣 boom! 💥
Those Yankee fans are a different breed, for better or for worse but they’re just different lol
I get booing players with how their preforming but at the same time though it is odd to do it like 5 games into them playing a season or postseason. Now if the slump continues that I get
I was at the royals game Tuesday they lost 10-1 to the Yankees the only Yankees fans I saw 9-10 were negative one guy tried to fight a whole gang of royals die hards while only yelling scoreboard. Then he got taken out of the game and I followed and he started crying so he could go back to his seat he acting tuff then gets called out and instantly crumbled I had a good giggle
Most bullies are like that
@@nickr3441 fr
I highly doubt that ever happened.😂😂😂
@wlm1697 if I had the video I would post it
Your grammar is so awful. Fix it and I'll be more inclined to believe you.
Those aren't boos, those are Bronx cheers!
Great point. I was at the aaron judge bobble head game and I honestly was confused and disgusted by the boos. I couldnt believe how loud the stadium was with boos for him. Even Vergugo was boo'd during the player roll call before the game. Such a bad look. Soto can turn around and stick the finger up to the fan base and take a huge contract across town potentially.
Just in the title we can assume so many things. NY sports fans are something special.
As a Yankees fan I agree with this. I feel players shouldn’t be booed for having bad performances unless it’s an extremely long bad stretch & bad pivotal playoffs moments that could literally cause us the season.
Entitled fandom. They're not rooting for the team, they're rooting for themselves.
What I hate most about Aaron Judge is that I can't hate Aaron Judge.
Agree 💯 PERCENT! I’m a Huge Yankees Fan born and raised in the Bronx, my great grand mother lived walking distance from the Stadium. I’m glad Trent hit it out that game!
Billy McDickhead went on to be a Cy Young, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, and MVP winner all in the same season thank you very much
Exactly
Recently attended a game in Tampa against the Yanks. The New York fans are insufferable - constant heckling, booing, picking at locals in the stands. Reminds me of the same shitty fans that show up at Coors when the Dodgers come to town. Why can't people just root for their team and enjoy healthy competition and great athleticism?
“Billy McDickHead” I need that rookie card😂
I feel like that would be in 1988 Donruss. I have no idea why.
As a Dodgers fan, I respect both judge and the Yanks!
i've seen one yankees game and i remember booing only one person... angel hernandez. It was a yankees vs blue jays game, and I was an undercover Red Sox fan, so I booed the ump. I didn't hear anyone booing players. The yankees fans were still cool and didn't boo their fans, they had respect. Also because I'm also a Giants fan, I have seen Dodgers fans booing their players, because Dodgers fan can be like that. Giants fans don't, we got a great thing going at AT&T.
yankees and astros for the championship series, coming from an astros fan, i want yankees and dodgers for ws, their series last week was crazyyy and i would be more excited to watch it tbh
Lastros are selling at the deadline buddy 👍
As a Yankee fan, sitting on my couch watching the moment where the crowd was on their fan chanting "we want Soto" with Grisham up in a game winning situation with two runners on base. I was rooting for Juan Soto to come off the bench in this situation as well - not to dis Grisham but because I revere and respect Juan Soto for what he has done for our team this year. It was about track records, and I was cheering so loudly and proudly for Grisham rising above the stats and the audience and proving his worth, turning the jeers to cheers. As a Yankee fan, I never boo my team no matter who is struggling or how. I hate when others do. I would never boo Judge, and knew he would turn around after his cold start in April. I only hope for the best in every situation and Trent Grisham deserves respect for what he did in that moment. I had alot of respect for Aaron Judge's reaction after the game. He supports his teammates no matter what and is an exemplary captain. I was so angry with the fair weather fans who booed Judge in April, who booed him in the 2022 postseason, like STAND UP WITH OUR GUY AND CHEER HIM ON!
I agree. I love the yanks but the booing is unnecessary
I will never speak for all yankees fans, we are very critical of the team we cheer for.....i guess many of us have grown to be spoiled by championships and the franchise's history......I remember growing up and watching a game where Derek Jeter was even booed.....i do give credit and respect to those who succeed in ny or even play in pinstripes......no way to look at it but we just dont like to lose.....i guess that's why a lot of people dont like us and i respect that
As a Yankee fan myself, I fully support the booing. No matter the circumstance, if you are not coming through to help your team win, then you are not at a satisfactory level and we need to let you know that. You don’t win a WS championship by cheering that they’re doing great when they have less than .200 average, that just says that the skill level doesn’t matter. The skill level does matter, and we want a team with good players. If you’re not playing well, you get booed.
Also, I was at the “We want Soto!” game and I stand by the cheering. A player with a .090 average was up in replacement of a player with an average of .300, with two outs, and a runner in scoring position, and you expect me not to ask for the .300 who’s only out due to inflammation? Then Grisham hits a home run, and this just tells me that Grisham heard the chants, and decided that he wanted to prove to the fans he was good enough as well. Grisham had done nothing the rest of the series when he wasn’t being booed, clearly being told he wasn’t doing good, and being asked to be replaced gave him the motivation he needed to hit that home run.
I get where you’re coming from. Me personally I wouldn’t ‘boo’ but that chant I understand. It was a perfect spot for Soto who according to Boone could’ve played they just decided to be cautious. If I remember correctly I turned to my gf and said to her if they do decide to put in Soto it would be in this exact spot. Also going from Soto to Grisham the contrast in batting average is so glaring that you honestly expected him to strike out (he’s been horrendous offensively). So if chanting is what it took for him to finally do something for the team then so be it 😂
Absolutely agree, the fact you boo your own legends after a few bad games is disgusting. Its not like they aren't the only hall of famers who had slumps. As a Yankees fan, I get behind every player and defend them.
it's inherently disrespectful but not personal. i think booing is fine from a crazy franchise like NY who spend the most and, as you pointed out, expect the most
it's more about the sample our fans do it in like judge at the beginning and getting worried, I literally would tell people unless judge is still hitting like .200 at the all star break then he's completely fine and not shockingly his stats don't even look like he ever had that streak
If I was an MVP or a leader in a statistical category or a team Captain, etc., and my home team booed me when I'm honestly trying and in a slump, I would be GONE in free agency and I would tell them why I left.
To be fair, Montgomery has been killing us... right after he just killed in us in the world series
I mean I didn’t see anyone booing Jose abreu for our Astros but he is gone lol no worry for him anymore
Snell and Montgomery have screwed pitchers getting big contracts for years to come.
As a Yankee fan, I wholeheartedly approve of anyone trashing the fans who boo players because they aren't getting good results.
Booing a player because his numbers are bad doesn't accomplish a thing. It could either have no effect or it could make the player get in their head and end up playing worse.
The only time players should be getting booed is when they aren't making an effort or they're an asshole. Then boo all you want. Joey Gallo deserved to get booed. He wouldn't make the effort to change his approach. Aaron Hicks deserved the boos. He would take plays off and just seemed to play lazy baseball.
Stanton had bad numbers, but not bad effort. As evidence look at how he transformed his body coming into the 2024 season. He worked his ass off to get better.
Aaron Judge. What can I say. I will start with, if you are a Yankee fan and booed Judge. Please find another team to root for. You don't deserve to watch him do the insane things he can do. He is the best hitter in baseball and it isn't particularly close. He gives max effort all the time. He hustles to track down plays in the field. He hustles out of the box and is actually a very good baserunner, if not all that fast. He always says the right thing. Always chats up the fans and treats them well. As good a teammate as their is in the game. Seriously you unbelievable idiots... What the HELL are you booing him for? A bad 20 game stretch?
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be associated with many of my fellow Yankee fans.
Here in Philly, it paid off to cheer Turner when he was in a skid, but I hope the yanks fans keep doin their thing
Never heard such loud booing as I did in LA when kenley Jansen was imploding with the dodgers. He blew a save and you couldn't even hear the organ during the pitching change because the boos were so loud. 56,000 fans booing in unison. Crazy experience
Was this a significant game?
Yes it cost the Dodgers the division
I boo in Seattle because it’s a fan base that has accepted losing for too long. The fans at the stadium seem ready to accept any and all “feel good” stories of players.
I push back by booing, if the organization doesn’t like it then build a better team.
Should also remember Trea Turner’s slow start to his Phillies career when he got repeatedly booed, then one day the fans decided to give him a standing ovation and everything turned around for him, for the better.
I have conflicting feelings about this. Firstly, I think it needs to be said that not all "boos" mean the same thing. Fans in North East cities wear their hearts on their sleeves and a "boo" (i.e., "Bronx Cheer" in Yankee parlance) can be a sign of respect for an opponent, or just an expression of disappointment about a situation and not necessarily directed at a player (although sometimes it's that too). Fans don't come to the ballpark to sit on their hands; it's to have fun and be part of an experience. Also, this isn't Little League where athletes should be expected to be treated as children. Cheers and boos should be viewed as an in-the-moment sentiment meter, not a referendum on one's self-worth or taken personally. Any adult athlete who is seriously bothered by it needs to "Lighten up, Francis" (*Stripes) and/or use it as motivation. On the other hand, it should also be noted that it's only a (lesser) percentage of fans that seem to be heard so loudly and that, overall, sports figures here are probably more honored and revered than they are anywhere else. it's all part of the social contract that exists between our professional athletes and rabid fanbases.
Hopefully Yankee Stadium will be a safe space after this great anti-bullying message. I’m sure Gio and Judge are gonna be grateful.
What
Huh?
What are you talking about?
Found the loser Yankees fan 😂😂
*joke
Im a Yankee fan and I was there when Grisham was being boo’d and everyone was chanting we want Soto 😂 but I didn’t cheer. At the end of the day everyone has bad days and good days. As long as you’re trying your hardest and giving it your all I can handle bad days.
Listen, I'm as diehard of a Yankee fan as they come and while I wouldn't have dared to chant "we want Soto" when Grisham was up, you have to admit that the fans chanting that in that moment were pretty fucking based.
I was at the game and witnessed the “we want Soto” fiasco in-person. 90+% of the Yankees fans there were appalled by it, and truly the chant came from one specific corner of the stadium (to my eye/ear it was the folks in the section right next to the bleacher creatures, and maybe some of them participated too). That 3 run homer was an EXCELLENT clap back, especially considering the fact it landed right where the chants originated from 😂😂😂 I’m proud to say those assholes put their tail between their legs and chanted “we want Grisham” the next time he went up to bat.
I’ve noticed that generally East Coast baseball fans are notorious for booing their baseball stars. It’s crazy. Especially in NY. If I was a baseball star, I wouldn’t sign up with the Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Red Sox. I hope the Yankees don’t win, the fans NEED to suffer.
I feel like the best fans are Midwest fans this is coming from an east coast Mets fan himself but they seem a good combo of chill but also into the game
Don’t forget though that Grishams next at bat the stadium was chanting “we want Grisham”.
This has always been a problem with our fan base but I really believe social media has made it worse. People are too used to being nasty with no consequences. These fans booing would never do it to the players face but sitting in section 410 they feel tough lol
As a Yankee fan, I agree with this video 💯. Very well said. On all points.
I’m a Yankees fan, die hard, and if you type in “judge saying he’s the best player on the team “ you will see why he deserves to get booed. That changed my thoughts on judge ever since!
I never understood booing Judge. He's way too good to not come around and he seems like a nice guy.
Oh the other hand, booing Alex Rodriguez is perfectly acceptable and to be encouraged. He had a portrait of himself as a minotaur in his home.
This same fan base cheered an injury of another player, plus didn't they throw a bunch of random crap on the field? Judge had to tell them to stop.
I think youll find in the D-backs example, fans tend to have much shorter patience with guys they just signed and haven't seen succeed. Monty just looked great against them in the WS, and now that he's in their colors he's putting up stinker after stinker.
Your example is they booed judge cause he was off to a notoriously slow start worst stretch of baseball of his life. They expected more gave him contract of someone who plays better. He acknowledged the boos then proceeds in playing the best baseball of his career. Same exact thing can be applied to rodon. Players know what they’re getting into when signing to play for the Yankees. Just don’t sign up to play in the Bronx then. I personally wouldn’t boo someone like Trent or ask for another player that’s disrespectful. But these are professional athletes, and the dog in them usually comes out when facing diversity and accountability from fans which is always cool to see. If they fold under the pressure they’re simply not built to play in NY. NYC isn’t for everybody. I.e Sonny gray amazing pitcher outside of the Bronx or even the Midwest transplant that moves to the city but is scared to get on the subway. I personally fully agree with booing Stanton after paying him so much and him underperforming and rodon in his first season and judge after a month of really bad ball.
You should’ve mentioned how the fans started chanting “we want Grisham” his very next at-bat after hitting the home run.
I'm a Yankee fan and I have never ever cared about how they played unless if there's been a huge disaster by one of the players that lasts for a very long time
As a lifelong Yankees fan I agree 100%.
Marlins and Diamondbacks fans can’t be as aggressive because let’s face it… how aggressive can two guys be?
Clearly never saw the 98 Yankees
I don't think Yankees fans have ever had any kind of respect for anybody. At least that's how I remember them
Judge is absolute class. Trent hit a bomb and Judge is like, In that moment Trent was my guy and Im sticking with him to the end.
As a die hard Yankees fan, I’ve been saying for years that the Yankees have a bottom 5 fanbase in baseball because of this
40 pennants and 27 world championships require rabid fans.
The Yankees have GOT to play well.
I disagree with your assessment that the bullpen this year has been good. They have not been. They have on quite a few occasions nearly lost games for the yanks. If there is a weakness in this team, it is the bullpen and players who swing at balls far far outside the strike zone.
If they clear those two things up, they will win another world championship.
Among bullpens league wide
ERA, third
WHIP, fifth
Saves, tied second
Hits allowed, fourth
Total Earned Runs, second
Not sure what you think a good bullpen looks like, but I think your expectations are absurdly high if you think that doesn't qualify as a good pen.
@@snerdterguson
Better than what you typed. THAT would be a good bullpen.
I have always found it amazing that players are willing to take the big money in NY when you have possibly the most insufferable group of people “rooting” for you (aside from Philly fans of course)
Booing ur own players is not gonna make them better.
Fans are going to make it hard for the team to get players to sign there.
When is that going to happen?
Interesting because the players that have enough class to handle it usually say nothing but positive things about our fanbase. When you go into the stadium, you know fully well you may be heckled and booed, but you chose to play and be an athlete. If you can’t handle that’s on you, and many players with enough class will choose to sign with us.
That's because the assholes booing aren't the majority. Most of us don't boo our own guys. We show love. And continue to show love well after they're retired. Even if it weren't an asshole thing to do, it would shot I'll be stupid and counterproductive. There is a zero percent chance that booing a baseball player, who is not lacking in effort, will help them improve. The sport just doesn't work that way. So all the booing can accomplish is either nothing at all or it can get the player in their head and pressing, which leads to them getting worse.
When Aaron Judge was batting .189 he didn't need you to boo him in order to let him know it wasn't good enough. I tell you with total certainty that there is not a human being who felt more upset about Judges first 20 or so games than Judge himself. Your boos did nothing whatsoever outside of potentially pushing Judge to a point where he won't want to engage with fans anymore.
Stop hurting out or team with this idiocy.
The " we want Soto" thong made zero sense. He was INJURED. If you follow the team even a little, you know he's just not an option in that moment.
That would be like them chanting "We want Cole"
i agree the "we want soto" chants were uncalled for, however I was at that game and at grishams next AB the same people made up for it and chanted "we want grisham." No hate at all, I just think that redeems us yankees fan a tiny bit
I flew in to Pittsburgh to watch a pirates game and saw the pirates fans booing Rowdy Téllez 😆 it was so loud, I thought Jose altuve up to bat
Did they kneel disrespecting all Armed Forces Veterans when they Booed ?
It was not two weeks it was a month but people were overreacting
No matter how dominant you can be as a Yankee, the fanbase will still find a way to hate on the guys.
Why not just enjoy the moment that this team is dominating atm? Nothing wrong on doing so considering that people tend to have bad games and it is the least of our worries as a Yankee Fan.
This guys 12 years old 😂
Booing your own team is just completely stupid.
I get wanting people to perform for how much they’re getting paid, but these fans are worse than literal children who refuse to listen.
Booing your team won’t make them better.
Yankees fans booed freaking Derek Jeter during a hitting slump in one of the 2000 seasons and Derek won the franchise 5 championships. The Yankees All-time leader in Hits, Doubles, Stolen bases, multiple postseason stats got booed.
Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, and Juan Soto hasn't won a ring for the Yankees (Yet). They won't get special treatment until they win the Yankees a ring. Yankees fans are tired of hearing 2009 being the last ring and Astros fans saying they own us despite their cheating the game.
You wouldn’t believe the bad takes on Judge that I’ve heard. Absolutely ridiculous! As long as he was not injured it was a cinch that Judge was going to be good. Also don’t those idiots understand that if Soto wasn’t hurt he’d have been playing? WTF?!?!
I thought it was bad enough when fans started booing the opposing team for no reason (like for pick-off moves to first). Or random dudes yelling unintelligible things at the top of their lungs. I don't remember that nonsense happening when I was a kid. But now booing your own team? Really? Maybe it's narcissism taken to its extreme. You just have to let everyone around you know what you're feeling. You can't not express your displeasure. That would require self-control, awareness of those around you, and some measure of emotional regulation.
imagine grisham rounding the bases while flipping the crowd off. I think yankee fans would have fell in love with him if he did that!
Booing a player that not only isn’t performing well but performing horribly, how can you blame the fan? I love Aaron Judge but April was incredibly hard to watch.
The reason we boo is because we want to cheer. Yeah, it’s harsh, but when you put on those pinstripes you’re standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before you. You’re standing on a tradition of champions. Yes, we expect a lot and some can’t handle the pressure. Those that can are a different breed. Jeter even said as much to President Bush after 9/11; “pitch from the mound and don’t bounce it. They’ll boo you if you bounce it.”
Another thing, $1B contacts & tkt prices. Let that sink in & getting mobbed by Pantone 294, Mets haggling, Cole couldn't pitch against that. Let that sink in as well
I like to believe that 90% of Yankees fans know almost nothing about the game of baseball, and only watch the teams when they're good. Booing literal stars for having like three rough innings or at bats is simply ridiculous.
Guardians fan, i never understood why ppl boo their players. I get you want them to perform but do they rlly think booings gonna help
Remember when Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira would get booed after going 0-4 during April.
Being a Yankee fan is best when you straight up dont interact with other yankee fans. Going to the live games is more often than not a bad experience because of the fans.
i'm thoroughly enjoying watching luis gil carve through ur lineup rn. keep hating.
Agreed Red Sox fans will be Red Sox fans. Typical as always.
We should stop booing our own because it’s douche behavior, but also we look like fools who don’t understand the ebbs and flows of baseball. The fans who called for Judge to sit in April should have a one year comment ban.
here's the problem, they always look great around July, then the injury bug creeps in
Definitely not all the fans
A man of culture for shouting out Tuv
I as a Yankee fan I guarantee a good percentage of the people booing any one of those superstars would fight someone in bar over that same player if someone said they were trash. That's just the culture of he fan base they love hard they hate hard. It's been that way forever at this point it's a players fault if they didn't know this was how it was going to be when they signed.
if that's true, you guys need to see a psychiatrist...
Yeah, I felt second hand embarrassment when they boo’d Judge in the playoffs.
I don't boo the team but a championship would help. Ultimately being this good in June means nothing, this team will only be remembered with a championship. End of story. Will just have to wait.
I do not know if it´s a true story or not. But, I once read that Albert Einstein started counting from 1 to 100 in front of a classroom and when he got to 98 he missed 99 and finished with 100. A student called him out and said: Hey professor, you missed 99. Albert Einstein replied, Yes I know, but you didn´t take into account that out of 100 I only missed once, and that I was right 99 out of 100? There is your answer about human ego and judgement and hipocrisy!
