The uniform number is not the problem here.

"It didn't help that Hawkins wears No. 21, the number fan favorite Paul O'Neill wore. Some fans were even heard chanting O'Neill's name while Hawkins was getting rocked last night."

That's why it is tough sometimes to be a reliever. When Ian "Dead" Kennedy was getting shellacked -- while disgracing the uniform number of Hall of Famer Dave Winfield -- the fans were not yet angry because the game was still young.

Same thing happened today. Nobody booed Pettitte as he was getting shelled.
Ohlendorf gets booed after allowing one whole run.
