In a pregame ceremony Sunday, the Giants honored several players from their celebrated history with the Dodgers, and nary a boo was heard when they introduced Steve Garvey.
What has this rivalry come to?
Garvey later recalled far more excitable receptions from the Candlestick Park folks: “Absolutely,” the old Dodgers first baseman said. “They were so cold, to get up and boo was a way to get warm. I wish I could’ve played here.”
Rest assured, the rivalry is in good hands. The teams concluded a memorable, rain-shortened series at AT&T Park with a 2-1 Dodgers victory, and the finale featured a dominant Clayton Kershaw, a cameo by Buster Posey, another extra-inning game and, yes, some booing.
