Andy Dalton booed at celebrity softball game

Andy Dalton took part in the Legends and Celebrity Softball Game on Sunday, but some Cincinnati fans found it appropriate to use to the opportunity to boo the two-time Pro Bowl Bengals quarterback.

The first came during the on-field introductions when a mix of boos spliced in with cheers from the Great American Ball Park crowd. A similar mix came when Dalton took his first at bat.

"I'm not worried about it," Dalton said. "Everybody has got an opinion. It doesn't really matter. It comes with it. Everybody has their opinion here. There's a lot of support and that's all that matters."

The support could be heard loud and clear from that point forward as Dalton hit two of the longest home runs of the night in his following at bats. The first sailed over the drawn in softball fence and one-hopped the baseball wall in left field. The second home run was accompanied by a bat flip striding toward first base.

An upbeat Dalton laughed about his bat flip following the game.

"I don't know, it just felt natural," he said with a smile. "It's just an instinct to kind of flip it up there."

The Bengals open training camp July 31 and Dalton will attempt to lead the Cincinnati to the playoffs for a fifth time in five NFL seasons.
