Arguably, this was the last moment of the 'ol Yankees-Red Sox heated rivalry. All the old timers were retiring or retired already (Manny, Ortiz, Jeter, Posada, Boone, Clemens, A-Rod, Mo, Wakefield, Varitek). After Ortiz, Tex, and A-Rod retired, the face of the rivalry was all about Judge and Betts, not the names you'd expect to go all out criticizing, brawling or trash-talk the opposition.

[bsneck]

Might sound stupid but I feel as if booing him was a sign of goodbye, it was all in good fun. End of an era

[Soto]

One of the greatest ever that played the game. Yes he took steroids but he's still was dominant with his natural ability

[pinstripeslife]

I feel like this is fitting though, it wouldn't of been right if they cheered him. He's the player Redsux fans love to hate, it's like us Yankee fans and Pedro Martinez.

[rmarantis]

Missed it by an eighth of an inch and he knows it.

[wittggestein]

i miss him, he was fun when he was around.

[RichardTetta]

I do remember him hitting a game winning homer in Fenway at some point, may have been during the summer of '05

[connerche]

Kind of surreal to see A Rod, an iconic Yankee pop fly out to Mookie Betts. Betts feeling like another legendary player of a different era now. A Rod playing just feels so long ago to where we’re at now.

[Arieldny]

One of the best players ever I enjoyed this rivalry so much when he was a player !

[zSmgr]

I was there and it was great chanting, “we want Arod”

[PiazzaGurl]

That’s all Veritek got to do to A-Rod cuz after that A-Rod had him in the only head lock.

[virsuri]

This really insults me because we clapped for Ortiz

[pvtparts]

He was low key pissed because he wanted to hit a "fuck you homerun"

[eduardoocon]

I miss the true rivalry games between these two teams.

[deuceswild]

Sox fans are such hypocrites. Ortiz & Manny Ramirez are cheaters themselves lol lol

[Publiclighthouse]

“Yes, ” he lied, he cheated, he gave phony answers, he does not have a beloved personality, but man, was he ever an athlete. Imposing at the plate and talented. He really ruined what could have been a tried and true Hall of Fame career.

[leftbenchplayaa]

Lmao they chanted his name only to boo him?

[officermahal]

If they hadnt taken away his juice, he was on pace for 800 homers.

[Yfrboy]

If I was a-rod, I'd go out for a curtain call
