I really don't understand the uproar.

because we as fans try and establish team loyalty and it makes it hard when we find out the players have none.

baseball isnt structured like it used to be when yaz and rice played their whole career for the red sox. w/ free agents coming and going it's difficult for fans to even get behind the team when the entire line up changes every few years.

then when the red sox finally do win the series one of the core players responsible for the win goes and plays for the most most rivaled team. it's all emotion.

and the red sox will boo him this year and in a few years they'll forget all about

same thing w/ clemens. fans hated him for years and then he returned to fenway this year to pitch and he got a standing ovation. pissed me off. he spent great years w/ the team and then turned his back on the sox and then said he wants to go in the hall as a yankee.
