Will Phillies' Fans Boo Chris Coste Now That He Signed with the Mets?

Figured that the question was worth asking.

I would hope that they wouldn't. Coste's story is a terrific one, and he contributed well to the Phillies' efforts in 2007 and 2008. Phillies' fans should recall a visit to St. Louis at the beginning of the 2008 season, when Cardinals' fans gave a standing ovation to Phillies' back-up outfielder (how soon they forget) So Taguchi, who had played a reserve role for the Cardinals for several years. That was classy, and Phillies' fans would be wise to emulate Cardinals' fans.

Maybe, just because the Phillies have been winning. It's not like he abandoned a sinking ship.
