If an opposing pitcher came to Yankee Stadium and pitched a perfect game, I could see Yankee Stadium cheering for him in the end. Well, not if it was a pitcher for the Red Sox lol. But I think anyone else, they would cheer. I've seen things like that happen in other stadiums in other situations. And it's not every day you get to see a perfect game. I've never been to one, but I'd love to be there for one.

I completely agree that the vast majority of baseball fans in the home park would give a rousing applause to an opposing pitcher throwing a no-no-no game.
Interesting take on the Yankee/Red Sox dynamic. Unless the Red Sox pitcher was a real tool with a history of head hunting, I'd like to believe that the Yankee fans would respond with applause after the final out if a perfect game was pitched against them by a member of the Sawx.
It is bad to drink Jobus rum. Very bad.share
I'm a Yankee fan and I wouldn't applaud a Red Sox pitcher ever lol
shareIt's been a while since I've watched the film, but didn't that happen at the end? The Yankee home crowd was applauding Chapel for his accomplishment? Even that one stereotypical New Yorker who was criticizing Chapel all through the game, and even questioning the final out, seems to have a change of heart mid-sentence and says he has to hand it to him and starts respectfully clapping his hands.

Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is very bad.share
Agreed, I was at Dodger Stadium in 1991 and watched Dennis Martinez throw a perfect game against my beloved Dodgers. The home crowd gave the visiting Martinez a standing ovation at the end of the game. Perfect games are not easy. Only been like 30 through out the entire history of baseball going back over 100 years
" Tell me mom...when your little girl's on the slab...where will it tickle you?"
Indeed, it is rare; only 23 perfect games. I really enjoyed this movie with a bit of insight on what a pitcher goes through in baseball.
shareIt would be common to cheer for an opposing pitcher throwing a no-hitter or a perfect game, especially in the middle of a long season when the game doesn't matter that much.
But NOT if he's beating your team on the second to last day of the season and your team is in a pennant race (as the Yankees were, since Boston needed the W by Detroit).
So yeah, they would applaud the game at the end, but they would definitely not be a crowd of 56,000 fans cheering for Chapel to beat them, as Vin Scully said.
