Classy Yankee Fans

This is typical. After giving up 8 (yes, 8) runs in the second inning in today's Yankee 13-9 loss to the White Sox, Clemens was booed............sort of. "When Torre replaced him [Clemens] with left-hander Mike Myers, the fans at Yankee Stadium booed loudly, but the boos faded to polite applause by the time the Rocket had trudged to the dugout." I suspect the Yankee fans remembered Clemens throwing the broken bat at Piazza in 2000, and had second thoughts as he entered throwing range. Pity he couldn't have taken a few of them out...
