Yankees fans voiced their displeasure with Juan Soto in the Subway Series opener, his first game back at Yankee Stadium since leaving for the Mets.

Rivalries are often more for the fans than for the players on the field themselves, and the Subway Series hasn’t always lived up to the hype.

He also did not sugarcoat the challenge facing his pitchers either. “He’s a killer,” Boone said bluntly during his WFAN appearance before Friday night's Subway Series-opener.
