Royals fans showered Jazz Chisholm Jr. with boos before Game 3, and he loved it

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not a popular figure among Kansas City Royals fans.

The New York Yankees infielder caused a stir with comments he made after the team's loss in Game 2, when he suggested the Royals got lucky in their first ALDS win.

When he walked onto the field to introduce himself before Game 3 at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals' home fans greeted him with boos from the stands. Chisholm followed Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton in the order and trotted onto the field after the batter. Stanton barely received any reception from the crowd, which then became extremely loud and rowdy as the stadium announcer yelled Chisholm's name.

The boos didn't seem to bother Chisholm too much, as he was seen on the broadcast saying “I love it” as the noise rained down from the crowd.

The third baseman's harsh treatment isn't a huge surprise given his recent comments, and he certainly seemed like he was expecting it. He will look to respond with his play on the field after hitting his first postseason home run late in the Game 2 loss.
