Royals fans shower Jazz Chisholm Jr. with boos prior to Game 3, and he loved it

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not a popular figure among Kansas City Royals fans.

The New York Yankees infielder ruffled some feathers with comments he made after the team’s loss in Game 2, suggesting the Royals got lucky with their first win of the ALDS.

When he took the field for induction prior to Game 3 at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals’ home fans greeted him with a chorus of boos from the stands. Chisholm followed Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton in the order and trotted onto the field behind the slugger. Stanton barely got any reception from the crowd, which then became extremely loud and hoarse when Chisholm’s name was shouted by the stadium announcer.

The boos didn’t seem to bother Chisholm too much, as he was seen on air saying, “I love it” as noise rained down from the crowd.

The third baseman’s harsh treatment doesn’t really come as a surprise given his recent comments, and he certainly seemed to expect it. He’ll look to respond with his play on the field after launching his first postseason home run late in the Game 2 loss.
