Now that I think about it, I was at a game in Anaheim where Hunter homered against the Twins. I did not even consider joining the standing ovation. I wished that he had struck out like a dog. But if I was at a game where he hit one against the Sux, I would give the ovation, out of respect for what he did while he was on the Twins. I think that you have hit the nail on the head thrylos. But there is one other fundamental principle in play, which is that Twins fans should root for each other. I rarely get to meet any fellow fans in person, but when they play in Anaheim there is a sacred bond amongst us. So while we might always agree, we must always have each other's backs.
