Did Xander Bogaerts Get Booed During All-Star Game Introductions?
NESN Logo Sign In  Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts didnt receive the warmest welcome at the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. In a video from Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe, it sounds like the crowd at Coors Field booed the star during introductions Tuesday night. pic.twitter.com/zLLvfGaHWF  Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) July 13, 2021  Perhaps Rockies fans are still mad about the 2007 World Series, when Boston spoiled the franchises first-ever championship appearance by sweeping them in four games. But at that point, Bogaerts was just 15 years old. A more likely explanation is that Rockies fans are sticking up for one of their own  shortstop Trevor Story. The two-time All-Star didnt make the cut for the Midsummer Classic, finishing the first half of the year with a .249 batting average, 17 stolen bases, 11 home runs and 42 RBIs. Comparatively, Bogaerts was hitting .321 with an American League-best 27 doubles, 15 home runs and 51 RBIs through his first 85 appearances.
