MLB Playoffs 2013: ALDS Features Red Sox Fans Mocking of Rays' Wil Myers

The American League Division Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox has cast a spotlight on the Rays' rookie right fielder, Wil Myers.  The Boston fans seem to have selective memory in how they have chosen to handle the situation.

While this would normally sound like a rather reckless strategy considering Hamilton's lack of proven ability at pro baseball's highest level, the matchup and situation make a strong case for Hamilton to play a lot.
