WATCH: Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Cano, But Not ACTUAL Cano

Robinson Cano Surprises Yankees Fans While They're Booing Him by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on YouTube

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano is hoping for a "good standing ovation" at Yankee Stadium when he returns to the Bronx for the first time as a visiting player on Tuesday.

More realistically, the five-time All-Star who played for the Bombers from 2005 until last year will hear plenty of boos every time he steps up to the plate.

But here's the real question: Would Yankees fans boo the slugger to his face?

That was put to the test on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

A handful of Yankees fans were given the opportunity to boo a cardboard cutout of Cano. And boo they did. Until the 2009 World Series champion walked out from behind the cutout. Suddenly, New Yorkers had nothing but love for the ex-Yankee.

The reactions are nothing short of priceless.

In his first season in Seattle, Cano -- who signed a 10-year, $240 million contract with the M's in the offseason -- is batting .301 with a homer and 11 RBIs in 93 at-bats.
