Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
It's MLB All-Star Week in Philadelphia with the Home Run Derby on Monday and the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
MLB's biggest stars will be on display at Citizens Bank Park in the City of Brotherly Love. However, National League All-Star Team manager Dave Roberts isn't expecting Philadelphia Phillies fans to give him and his Los Angeles Dodgers players much support.
"Obviously a tremendous fan base. Very knowledgeable, passionate fan base," Roberts said during his press conference on Monday. "I don't think me and the Dodgers will be too well-received tomorrow night."
“Probably not a warm reception”

Roberts and the Dodgers are the sport's villains after winning back-to-back World Series and three of the last six. They also have the second-highest payroll in baseball behind the New York Mets.

Philadelphia sports fans are notoriously hostile to opponents. They also have a personal reason to dislike Los Angeles, which knocked them out of the playoffs last year.
Accordingly, Roberts and his players will likely hear some boos during Tuesday's pregame ceremony.
