Have you ever seen a manager ejected for something a fan said? Neither had Aaron Boone.

NEW YORK / 4-22-24

Yet that is what apparently happened in the first inning of the Yankees' 2-0 loss to the Athletics on Monday, when Boone was tossed after five pitches by home-plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.

The offending comment seemed to have come from a spectator sitting behind the first-base dugout.

The cameras remained trained upon Boone, who scowled while silently chomping on a wad of gum. Seconds later, Wendelstedt tossed Boone, who immediately pointed to the seating area while protesting: “I did not say a word! It was above the dugout!”

Wendelstedt replied, “I don’t care who said it. You’re gone!”

1. Yikes , Hunter has rabbit ears. He must have a history with Boone.

2. Coached freshman girls basketball...

Cop was sitting behind one of the dads who was all tatted up. Cop was cussing out the refs. The ref threw out the tatted up dad.

That's the closest that I've ever seen.

If I heard correctly, it was a wendelstadt. His old man also had thin skin.
