NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton's Big Apple debut went dramatically different than he and New York Yankees fans had hoped, as his five-strikeout performance drew boos late in the Bronx Bombers' home-opening win.
"You put up a performance like that, you should get some boos," Stanton said at his locker to a horde of reporters following his 0-for-5 afternoon.
The boos came in the bottom of the eighth inning as Stanton walked back to the Yankees' dugout after swinging at a 77 mph slider from Tampa Bay Rays reliever Sergio Romo.
