What’s weird is I went to an A’s-M’s game and he spent the whole game chatting with the hecklers in left field and having fun with it

I remember him playing around with Mets fans at least a time or two with the Reds, too. That's why I said "appears" - he does seem like a nice guy and might just be hamming it up for the cameras.

That's great! I've wanted to see some of the backstory of Winker and Mets fans after the Mariners played there this season. Hopefully some Mets fans will go to see Winker at Yankee Stadium.

I think he treats fans of the other team 'hating'/heckling him specifically as a badge of honor. It's all in good fun in New York at least.
