For the record, I don't see any reason to boo him even if I were a "fan of booing". I mean he played hard while he was here under some pretty miserable teams, he had some injuries his last couple of years but he worked through them to come back. I don't really get why there would be hatred.

You give him a huge ovation in his first at bat and then you cheer or boo according to the game dynamics each at-bat/play after that. He gave the majority of his career to the city and was one of if not the best player on some of the worst teams in club history.

You do not boo.

IMO you boo a guy like Tex who leaves his home town hanging for the rivals and says he wanted to be there all along. You do not boo a guy like Roberts who played many years in this city and only left to NY because they were the only ones offering a job. You'll see the split between the classy and the classless of Baltimore in his first at bat.

I would just sit there.

This. Or maybe a brief golf clap to acknowledge his long time Orioleness. Then it's on to the Brian Roberts, Yankee, era where you just reflexively boo their every move.

We can give him a big ovation in a few years when he's inducted into the Oriole HOF and he's not wearing pinstripes.

Put me down for the golf clap.
