Pirate fans chanting "AL-BERT, AL-BERT"

So I was playing a game against Pittsburgh, and when Albert Pujols came to bat, the Pirate fans began an "AL-BERT, AL-BERT" chant, exactly like the St. Louis fans would do at home.

Has anyone ever had something like that happen in their game, where teh other teams fans chant for your players?

It was fans of the Dodgers who gave him his nickname. After several fine hitting performances at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn fans would see him come to bat, and say, "Uh-oh, here comes that man again. That man is back!" St. Louis sportswriter Bob Broeg picked up on this, and Musial was "Stan the Man" from that point on.

Maybe it was something like that. :D

Well last season the Yankees were playing the Nationals and Bernie hit a go ahead-HR in the ninth inning, and the fans wanted a curtain call, but they were at RFK! And I recall two or three years ago during a Yankee-Jays game and the Yankees batted around the order in the eighth or ninth inning, and the whole crowd was chanting "Let's go Yankees!."
