That being the case, I never liked the Edgar chant in Seattle, because to me it was an example of Seattle spectators not getting what fans in more established baseball towns were doing, and why. And I hate that Darryl Strawberry, that yutz, is associated in my mind with Edgar Martinez, all because of that sing-song taunting chant.
