Yankees fans nostalgically booed Joey Gallo at spring training

No, Joey Gallo, you have not been forgotten.

The Yankees’ former hitless wonder is now with the Twins and having a nice spring — he’s batting .316! But he had a rough day Monday when the Bombers took the bus down to Fort Myers. Because every visiting Yankees fan apparently decided Gallo needed to be savagely booed whenever he got to the plate.

From NJ.com:

With little to cheer about in a 1-0 Twins win that was over in 2 hours, 12 minutes, Yankees fans resorted to heckling.

Joey Gallo, now with the Twins, received the same treatment that he had at Yankee Stadium the last two seasons, nothing but loud boos before his three plate appearances, which ended with a wind-blown bloop single, flyout to right and strikeout.
