I suppose, on one hand, this is a somewhat innocent and innocuous trend. I suppose that in a world where it feels as if people are screaming at each other at the top of their lungs most of the time, where anger is forever percolating just below the surface, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being nice.
Escobar got a tribute video when the Angels came to town last month, and it was sort of surreal paying tribute for the .240 batting average and 24 homers he hit in 605 at-bats for the Mets. That was followed by a similar tribute to Max Scherzer when the Rangers came to town the next series. None of that makes Scherzer a felon. It doesn’t even really qualify him as a villain. It does make you wonder where the screaming need to say thanks-for-the-memories comes from, unless you have especially fond memories of Scherzer’s six no-hit innings at Milwaukee last September.
There were no tribute videos at Madison Square Garden — hell, it was 20 years before the first video screen was installed — on the night of Nov. 2, 1975, when Eddie Giacomin skated onto the ice as a member of the Detroit Red Wings, a few days after he was waived after 11 years as a Ranger.The Garden was sold out, and it was beyond rabid as the chants of “” came raining down from the blue seats, reducing Giacomin to tears before a 6-4 Detroit win.
