Why do people Boo when a visiting team pitcher throws over to 1st to keep a runner close - I have never understood this.

Perhaps to frighten the first baseman and cause an error?
Those are the same people, catch, who get all excited and cheer when one of their guys hits a long fly ball that's obviously going to be caught....without benefit of a man on third.
Because at least 3/4 of the people at a major league game are not real baseball fans and have no idea what's going on.
Mob Mentality...

Professional sports is entertainment. Most of us here see it differently. But then, we might be a little different from the masses, too.
Bottom line: they only want to see the pitcher throw to the catcher and allow the batter to advance the runner. Doesn't most all of the booing happen when the home team's runner is on first?

I really don't know how you can say that biggerpapi...the fans in the stands all appear to be real. That argument needs more traction...so I'll stand up and deliver some! I'm cut-out for this task!
The "have no idea what's going on" part I totally think you're right.
