Ouch.

Is this the definitive point when Rudy Giuliani realized he can’t enjoy the pleasures of New York City the way he used to? The former mayor and NYC golden boy took himself out to the ballgame on Monday afternoon, settling in to watch the Yankees lose to the Astros with a few thousand other people who stayed in town for Memorial Day Weekend.

When the Yankee Stadium PA announced it was Giuliani’s birthday, instead of a round of applause Giuliani got roundly booed. Vehemently booed. Embarrassingly booed.

That’s some very clear, emphatic booing. That’s a more coordinated effort than a right field section expertly starting the wave. Impressive display from the fans, sincerely.

Happy birthday, Rudy. As a gift, Yankees fans got you a bunch of boos wrapped in the shiny reminder that New York fans can be trust as brutal as they can be loyal. They really broke the bank for this present so hopefully you enjoyed!
