Kim makes obscene gesture after fans boo

Kim makes obscene gesture after fans boo
BOSTON (AP) -- Red Sox reliever Byung-Hyun Kim was booed by fans and made an obscene gesture when he was introduced before Saturday night's playoff game against Oakland at Fenway Park.
Kim, who allowed the tying run to reach base in the ninth inning of Boston's loss in the opener, was jeered when the public-address announcer read his name.
The usually reserved Kim raised his right arm and touched the bill of his cap. He then brought the arm down to his right side, raised it again without changing the small smile on his face and put up his middle finger.
Boston obtained Kim from Arizona for infielder Shea Hillenbrand on May 29. In 44 relief appearances and five starts with the Red Sox this season, Kim was 8-5 with a 3.18 ERA and 16 saves in 19 chances.
Kim gave up game-tying homers for Arizona in Games 4 and 5 of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium.
