With Jenson getting booed, it got me thinking about who Giants fans last booed. I can’t remember anyone. McGehee wasn’t booed. Rowand wasn’t booed. Tejada?? Alphonso? Pierzynski? Juden?

Scott Cousins or AJ. Puig, Womanny Ramirez.

Jeff Juden - now that is an obscure name you pulled out. I couldn't even remember him pitching for the Giants so I had to look that up. It was 1996 and his numbers weren't awful but weren't great either.
Did Armando Benitez get booed during his tenure as Giants' closer?

Great call. Blownitez for sure.

I am talking about booing an active Giant. Lots of the “other guys” get booed. That is normal.

Was Strickland ever booed while he was still with us?

I had vague memories of that happening, which is probably why his name popped into my head after cal's post.

I can confirm this. He was booed often.

And he Phuking deserved it.

I was in Miami when he was on the team. I basically followed the team through occasional box scores in newspapers.

LeMaster?

Aww...

I met him. Very nice guy. He went to church where we did back in the day.
