What happened

When Mike Scioscia agreed to attend former Dodgers teammate Orel Hershiser’s ceremony for his new car dealership in Chino, he didn’t expect to get booed.

Why it matters

Standing next to Hershiser during the ceremony, the speaker at the podium mentioned how their district is “most of Orange County and represents the Angels.” Immediately after the speaker said that, Dodgers fans who attended started booing him.

Common ground

Hershiser jokingly walked off the stage in disappointment, leaving Scioscia awkwardly standing on stage.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
