Cespedes Deserves Some Good Cheer Monday Night

It's pretty common for high profile players to be booed at visiting parks, even if they have done nothing to deserve it other than be really good at baseball. Also typical is for players to be booed when they return home after having spurned their former club either by leaving as free agents or perhaps by bad-mouthing their old team on the way out following a trade.

None of this applies to Yoenis Cespedes, who returns to the Coliseum Monday night for his first ever game against the Oakland A's. I don't know if the cheers or boos will prevail, but I am hoping it's cheers and here's why.
