After a dismal first week as Phillies manager, many wondered if Phillies fans would welcome Gabe Kapler with a supportive round of applause or with a flurry of negativity during the introductions at the Phillies home opener.
Maybe the Eagles winning a Super Bowl and the festive atmosphere that comes with a home opener would soften the blow for Kapler. Or maybe not.

As it came across on television, there was a good helping of boo birds serenading the new skipper.
