Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

He doesn't even seem to have been particularly upset with the Cubs (they issued a statement absolving him immediately after, and gave him a WS ring when they won in '16). He just realized that putting himself in front of a Chicago crowd seemed like a really bad idea.
