So, Were the Players Ticked Off by the Booing?
Surprised the following hasn't been mentioned. About 1/2 or 2/3 through the 2023 baseball season, Trea Turner was not hitting anywhere near the level suggested by his exorbitant free agent contract. Then, a local radio station (as I understand it) persuaded the fans at Citizens Bank Park to give Turner a standing ovation instead of booing him. So, the Philadelphia fans--yes, the Philadelphia fans-- gave him the standing ovation. Turner's season turned around, as did the team's.
I have certainly booed at a stadium-- but I am not sure it accomplishes much except personal venting.
