Sounds like President Donald Trump’s lawyer struck out at the ball game on his 74th birthday.

Rudy Giuliani hit a foul ball with fellow Yankees fans Monday when the team wished him a happy birthday.

“The New York Yankees wish a very happy birthday to Mayor Giuliani,” an announcer said during the game, prompting Yankees fans to boo the former New York City mayor.

Giuliani wasn’t the only one unable to score a home run — the Yankees lost 5-1 on their home turf to the Houston Astros.

    I can’t decide whether to cheer or to boo.

    Good thing the score wasn’t 11-9. The boos would have been muted when he was mayor or after 9/11. When he hitched with Trump he lost a lot of credibility with many New Yorkers since Trump his business ties and his crime family would have been prosecuted by the SDNY in the 1980’s. Or as mayor he would have been critical of them.
    When he was a kid in Brooklyn he wore a Yankees uniform in Dodger country and took some heat for it. I’m sure he can deal with these fans.

  3. Watched the video, was expecting a smattering of boos. Thew roar was impressive actually. Not sure if anyone was not booing. Good job Rudy!

  4. That’s okay. Giuliani is used to New Yorkers hating him (and for good reason).

  5. Giuliani predicted once he got up to speed the Mueller probe would be “over in two weeks”.
