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!”
