Not true. They looooves the underdogs. Jim Eisenreich was a favorite because he played better and did things that nobody really expected him to do. Fans didn't like Mike Schmidt because he didn't live up to fan expectations (which was perfection. After all he
was Mike Scmidt).
In other words, if you are expected to play at a level 4, and play like an 7, Philadelphia fans love you. If you are expected to play at a level 9, and play like a 7, they think you suck. Yeah, two guys playing at the same level...
