Urban Meyer Lightly Booed at All-Star Weekend Softball Game in Cincinnati

Major League Baseball's All-Star game is in Cincinnati this year, and Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer was part of the festivities. Some UC fans weren't too happy about that.

One of the activities for All-Star Sunday was the Legends & Celebrity Softball Game, in which Meyer took part. Although Reds icons like Sean Casey, Eric Davis, and Aaron Boone were present, Meyer has a Queen City connection of his own – he graduated from the University of Cincinnati and started his coaching career at St. Xavier High School.

While Meyer is enormously popular in all of Ohio, some fans booed him as he came on the field, no doubt Bearcats fans who remembered the 50-28 beating the Buckeyes laid on Cincinnati last fall.
