New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is no stranger to getting thrown out of games, racking up 34 ejections early into his seventh season in charge.
On Monday afternoon against the Oakland A’s, home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt decided early on he wouldn’t tolerate Boone barking at him from the dugout.
Boone questioned if Oakland leadoff hitter Esteury Ruiz held his swing after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning, and Wendelstedt cut that off quickly.
“You’re not yelling at me, I did what I was supposed to do. You got anything else to say, you’re gone,” Wendelstedt told Boone.
