Houston -- Son of Man and Savior of humankind Jesus H. Christ was booed at a rare public appearance at the 72nd Annual Major League Baseball All-Star game in Houstonafter he interrupted the 6-run top of the first inning.
Christ, Who gave His life so as to ensure salvation for Christians in the afterlife, appeared at home plate in the first inning to bestow a great honor upon pitcher Roger Clemens, who was in the midst of giving up a "difference in the game" record number of runs.
"Roger, you've had a great career deserving of this award," said Christ, as the boos mounted. "And thank you Houston and all of the Bible-belt for being such gracious hosts."
The Houston fans, otherwise silent during the top of the first inning, filled the stadium with deep boos and threw bottles, debris and bobble-heads on the field as Christ left the field and walked out of the stadium.
Clemens was properly honored with the award later in the game, to which fans reacted more warmly, as the timing was far better.
"I'm hurt that they booed me," said Christ later, "but I understand. You know, I haven't been around for awhile. I forgive them."
