I have a thing against booing players of rival teams anyway, especially at an All Star game. I personally find it possible to enjoy a rivalry without personalizing it and booing individual players, particularly in a venue that celebrates the skill and entertainment of the game. I'll boo a mention of a team that's a rival (e.g. Giants), but I'll only boo a player if that player has done something individually worthy of booing (e.g. a pitcher that throws at a hitter).
That said, I at least get WHY people boo players from rival teams, even if I don't join in. However, booing players because of a totally baseless manufactured rivalry? Get over yourselves. Dodgers and Giants have a reason to foment a rivalry. Angels and Dodgers? Hardly.
