Lester making eighth start for Pawtucket tonight »
June 15, 2007
The booing of Barry Bonds began even before PA announcer Carl Beane said his name, and they continued the entire time he was at bat.
They did turn to cheers when he he looked bad whiffing on a Julian Tavarez pitch that was away.
Fans in the stands are wearing t-shirts with giant asteriks taped on them, and others are holding posters with large asteriks on them as well.
Bonds just launched one to right field, and took his time getting out of the batter's box, believing it to be a home run. Tavarez was trying to wave the ball foul, and it was, though manager Bruce Bochy tried to argue otherwise.
Bonds flew out to Dustin Pedroia in shallow right field on a 3-2 pitch, and the boos followed Bonds until he was back in the dugout.
