One dropped pop-up. Forty thousand boos. He said he liked it. So does the chart.
CITIZENS BANK PARK · HOME RUN DERBY · JULY 14 · headphones recommended, apologies not included
Boos you've personally thrown: 0 — already on the board. Boos you've personally thrown: 0 — warming up, they hit the board the second the CA drops.
Crowd Noise Readout
Forty thousand Philadelphians, one missed catch, zero regrets. Every boo got logged in real time. Every boo got converted on receipt into conviction.
Forty thousand Philadelphians already know how this goes. The instrument is calibrated and pointed at the crowd — it just hasn't been switched on yet.
Reading holds steady at maximum. He said he liked it. The gauge agrees.
The second the CA drops, the needle jumps straight to max — no ramp-up, because Philly doesn't do ramp-up.
Instant Replay Booth
He misjudged one routine fly ball in front of forty thousand people, and all forty thousand of them decided, at the exact same moment, to let him know. Camera never lies. Neither does the chart.
"I deserved those boos, but I liked it."
— the reason this coin exists
Today's Lineup Card
Philly boos Santa. Philly boos children shagging flies. The supply of boos is infinite, the demand is local, and the machine poured a coin denominated in the exchange rate.
The CA has not dropped yet — anything claiming otherwise is fake.
Live on the scoreboard. This is the only CA that counts.
The Box Score
Innings pending. Boos pending. Everything downstream of the CA is pending. The lineup card fills first, then the box score plays out.
The line score below runs on crowd sentiment, not vibes. Boos convert to Held. Errors are the whole point.

GAME NOT STARTED — box score activates at first pitch (a.k.a. the CA)
LIVE — bottom of the inning, crowd still going
Machine-poured, city-approved. $BOOED is a meme. Boos are real. Forty thousand of them, on the record.
