Story
Yankees' Boone Ejected Just Five Pitches into Game vs Athletics After Ump Mistakes Fan Heckle for Him
Apr 22, 2024, 06:39 PM
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected just five pitches into a game against the Oakland Athletics after a misunderstanding involving a fan's heckle. Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt mistakenly attributed a heckle from a fan behind the dugout to Boone. Despite Boone's protests that he hadn't spoken, emphatically stating, 'I didn't say a f--king thing,' Wendelstedt insisted, 'I don't care who said it. You're gone.' This marks Boone's second ejection of the season, occurring with one out in the first inning. The incident, captured on audio and video, has sparked discussions about the umpire's decision.
