FL Gov Gone Wild booed at Rays game



Rick Scott, who should be in jail but instead got elected governor, threw out the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays game. The St. Petersburg Times reports
The line of protesters leading to the Trop was about 125 strong Friday, and they had one sentiment for Gov. Rick Scott.
BOOOO!!!

If Scott missed them as he made his way into the stadium, it's unlikely he missed the chorus of hecklers who serenaded his ceremonial first pitch at 6:45 p.m.

"I heard it through thick glass windows," said Perry Banse, 53, of Largo, who was inside the Everglades BBQ Smokehouse restaurant in the centerfield concession area...

But it seemed like more than half of the stadium booed. Their jeer was a continuous drone that lasted for most of the time Scott was on the mound.

The protesters organized on Facebook, where nearly 1,200 people had signed up to "Boo Rick Scott on Opening Day" before the game.
