New York Yankees fans loved seeing Derek Jeter back in the Bronx Friday night during his Hall of Fame induction tribute before a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. 

Fans, however, didn't give owner Hal Steinbrenner the warmest welcome when he stepped on the field. 

Presenting Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation with a check for $222,222.22 and paying homage to The Captain’s retired No. 2, Steinbrenner was showered with boos from the crowd. 

When mentioning the Steinbrenner family in his speech, Jeter even had to tell the crowd, "You better cheer."
