        [deleted]
        
        Unlikely that they are lying, but the implication is that the stadium was chanting it. - ty97 Oct 20, 07:45 28

- If that happened, ugh! I was there and didn't hear that once. They did chant Keuchel like fans did to Strawberry. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 07:24 18
  - it is not the worst thing I have ever heard at a ballgame, but still, if true, is pretty classless. -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:31 17
    - Go to any baseball (or sports) stadium in any city in the nation (or world) and you'll find at least a handful of classless people. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 07:32 16

        hell, at my own park, I heard a fan yelling at shawn green (jewish) to "get the ovens ready" - groiny Oct 20, 07:36 11

        Ahhh, I mistranslated 'Stay classy, New York'. Didn't realize it meant 'this happens everywhere'. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 07:35 1
        
        well, there was no game at Sox park yesterday, so...... - groiny Oct 20, 07:37
