Yankees manager Aaron Boone is known for his hot temper, to the point where he was ejected from Monday's game because an umpire seemed to assume a fan's critical remark came from Boone instead.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt five pitches into Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics over a remark from a fan behind the dugout aimed at the plate umpire. Esteury Ruiz was hit on the back foot by a Carlos Rodón slider leading off the game. Standing on the dugout steps, Boone raised his hands, questioning whether Ruiz swung at the pitch.
You're not yelling at me, I did what I'm supposed to do and checked! I'm looking for him to get hit by the pitch! You got anything else to say, you're gone! OK?' A fan behind the dugout appeared to yell at Wendelstedt and the umpire ejected Boone, screaming: 'Aaron, you're done!' Boone and other Yankees pointed to the fan behind the dugout, and Boone ran onto the field to make his point: 'I didn't say anything!' Boone said.
