Get out the tiny violins for NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio:
Bill de Blasio says New Yorkers are too mean to him at baseball games http://t.co/mGtIznRaxF pic.twitter.com/022NSzbyOa

“I had the pleasure of taking in a Brewers game with Mayor Tom Barrett last night,” de Blasio told a group at a speech Saturday in Milwaukee. “I was struck by how many people kept coming up to the mayor to thank him for his service.”
“I go to quite a few baseball games in my city of New York, and I gotta admit — the reception isn’t always that cordial,” he added. “People recognize me, all right. But oftentimes our exchanges are limited to a few choice words . . . or even a particular finger!”
Not surprisingly, de Blasio isn’t getting much sympathy:
@nypost Man Up! This is New York. I wonder what Koch would've said. Then again he was revered. Crying won't change things. Change minds!!!

In spite of de Blasio having a case of the sads about getting regularly booed at baseball games, Instapundit Glenn Reynolds believes it not only could be worse, but should be:

@instapundit I do not understand why they voted in a communist to run NY. You know if he had his way anyone mean to him would "disappear".
