Miguel Montero was let go by the Chicago Cubs earlier this season after he publicly called out the pitching staff by putting the blame on the pitchers for the incredible amount of stolen bases against him. This wasn’t the first time Montero ruffled some feathers in the media, as he even questioned his playing time in the 2016 postseason on the same day the Cubs celebrated their World Series championship. On Friday, Montero returned to Wrigley Field for the first time since getting traded to the Toronto Blue Jays and fans booed him.
I’m not a huge boo guy in general, but this seemed even more ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Cubs have celebrated their title plenty this season. Every player has received their standing ovations, but booing Montero because of his controversial comments?
Get the fuck outta here.
Mark DeRosa was once given a standing ovation at Wrigley Field.
Miguel Montero just got booed.
Tough look, for those #Cubs fans booing. pic.twitter.com/Pv0XOCamm3

Did they already forget about Game 1 of the NLCS?
How about, oh yeah, the GAME-WINNING HIT IN GAME 7 OF THE WORLD SERIES!
Those two hits alone outweigh anything wrong Montero ever did with the Cubs.
