Here are two different versions of how the crowd reacted when George Steinbrenner appeared on the field at the All Star game...you guess who wrote what...
Here's the first description...There was Steinbrenner's name on the message board, and this low, steady cheer that followed the golf cart toward the infield at Yankee Stadium.
This was not close to the explosion of noise, the familiar clap of thunder, that Derek Jeter heard when he was introduced Tuesday night, or even what Alex Rodriguez heard when he ran to third base to stand with Brooks Robinson and Mike Schmidt.
And here's the other...
After dozens of ovations, the loudest cheers were left for George Steinbrenner last night.
The 78-year-old owner of the Yankees, sobbing as he rode a golf cart in from left field, delivered the ball to the mound for the ceremonial first pitch before the All-Star Game.

im sure you saw it somewhere but little lupica threw a hissy fit at the asg when security guards wouldnt let him into the lower level where the players were . He even went so far as to scream the "do you know who i am????" line. deadspin even has an awesome picture of him being denied entrance.
such a douche i hate him so much.
I missed this! THanks for pointing it out!

Lupica: Do you know who I am!?!
