Yankees star attacks Royals fans who mocked him for calling team lucky: 'I've never seen anyone boo a bum'

Jazz Chisholm Jr. was public enemy No. 1 in Kansas City on Wednesday.

The New York Yankees' star infielder gave the Royals some bulletin board material earlier this week when he called them “lucky” to win Game 2 of the ALDS.

Ultimately, the Royals lacked motivation as they lost Game 3 on Wednesday, but before that, fans made their voices heard.

When Chisholm was introduced before the game, the boos were extremely loud and Chisholm didn't mind it at all.

In fact, he said silently, “I love it. I love it.”

Chisholm was asked about the boos after the Americans' 3-2 win and was clearly unimpressed.

“I’ve never seen anyone boo a bum,” the former All-Star said.

“It’s good for the playoffs to have a little bit of that,” manager Aaron Boone added. “Made for a slightly better environment.”

Even after a Royals player on

Chisholm was confident the Royals “got lucky” after the Yankees had some unfortunate outs in Game 2 – but he went 0-4 in the Yanks' 3-2 win on Wednesday.

The Yankees were carried on Wednesday by Giancarlo Stanton, who scored two runs, including the game-winner. The slugger hit a massive solo home run in the eighth inning that gave the Yankees the lead for good, and Luke Weaver recorded the five-out save.

Game 4 takes place on Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium, where Royals fans will surely be vocal once again after an 0-4 night for Chisholm and a loss before elimination.
