It’s not everyday Dodgers fans can play the role of morality police, but they did so tonight in Yuli Gurriel’s first appearance at Dodger Stadium since making an insensitive gesture during Game 3 of the World Series.
As one would imagine, Dodgers fans unloaded on Yuli during pregame introductions:

And did so again during his first at-bat of the game:

How pissed are Dodgers fans about Yuli’s gesture? So pissed that the booing apparently lasted throughout his entire AB:
Gurriel got booed literally his entire at bat. Fans stopped to cheer for strikes and went right back to booing.

According to The LA Times, Gurriel has yet to apologize to Darvish in person… but only because the Dodgers pitcher doesn’t believe it’s necessary:
“I was told the next day told he wanted to speak to me, and I communicated to him that it was completely unnecessary and that I wasn’t bothered by it,” Darvish said. “Even now, I’m not bothered by it at all.”
