In his return to Yankee Stadium, Juan Soto faced an array of jeers from the crowd, having previously declined a lucrative offer from the Yankees. Despite going 0 for 2 at bat but walking three times, Soto maintained a positive demeanor, even engaging with fans. His experience illustrates the complexities of athlete reception in professional sports, especially following a contentious decision to join a rival team. Both the Yankees and Mets are performing well, leading their respective divisions as they commenced their six-game Subway Series matchups this season.

At 26 years old, Soto thought it was the worst booing he's been subjected to.
Both teams lead their divisions after the first of six Subway Series matchups this season.
