Dick Cheney Booed When Shown On Screen At Yankees Game

POSTED: 11:09 am EDT June 30, 2004

NEW YORK -- Vice President Dick Cheney was on hand for Tuesday's sell-out game between the Yankees and Red Sox in New York.

But the VP probably didn't win any votes in New England as he donned a Yankees baseball hat.

Cheney was booed when he was shown on the right-field videoboard during the seventh-inning stretch.

The boos were mostly from Red Sox fans - Cheney is an admitted Red Sox fan - who saw a fellow Sox fan wear a Yankees cap - even if they did not know his affiliation - he wore a Yankees cap.

The boos were not political in that sense and the Red Sox fans did not have a good game that night so they were pissed - as usual.

I should add, a Yankee fan would boo a Red Sox fan also:

Vice President Dick Cheney, a Red Sox fan, was among the large gathering. He watched the early innings from George Steinbrenner's box and later sat in the first row next to the Yankees' dugout. Cheney was booed when his picture appeared on the screen during the singing of "God Bless America."

And they lost a tough one tonight too, blowing a 2 - 0 lead late in the game with errors. .....it was beautiful.

Wonder how the Yankee crowd would treat a real Yankee fan?

Robert Novak was there and said Clinton was also booed. I have seen this reported not once.

Hllary Clinton has been booed almost every time at the stadium.

To be honest with you, except, Rudy, and Bush that one time, they pretty much booo most politicians, regardless of party or anything.

Part of it is they are ticked by the extra security and stuff.

This sad excuse for a human being isn't a real anything.

C'mon now. Some fans would boo a returned levitating Jesus if he had the opposing team's cap on. Baseball trancends wisdom in all directions.

"my fellow...uh...what state are we in..."

One of these days the truth about that b!tch and her college paper she wrote (the one that the college won't let people see over half of the book...could it be a marxist chapter or two that they worry about) is gonna come out. Would not be surprised to find out that while in college she was part of the shows that go on in Mexico during spring break.

The media is just spinning it so it makes Cheney look bad. The media loves these kinds os stories, no matter how insignificant it is.

Hillary's never been to a game at Yankee Stadium in her life, precisely because of that reason.

It was politically stupid to put on an MFY hat. Period.
