Yankees manager Aaron Boone rips ’embarrassing’ ejection apparently sparked by abuse from nearby fan as umpire Hunter Wendelstedt doubles down on decision

Aaron Boone has ripped the ’embarrassing’ decision to eject him just one batter into Monday’s Yankees game in a case of mistaken identity, with umpire Hunter Wendelstedt doubling down on his decision after the game.

Just seconds before, Boone had expressed his disapproval over a strike call and was told he would be “gone” if he said anything more. He stood silently in the dugout but was still dismissed when Wendelstedt believed the Yankees manager was hurling insults at the fans nearby.

After the Yankees’ 2-0 loss to the A’s, Boone was incensed and told reporters he intended to speak with MLB about the incident.

He began, saying, “I didn’t even chase after Hunter,” and that the dismissal was “just not okay.”

“I was upset with the appeal more.” “Hunter, you can call it too,” I said. He hit me back rather hard. which I chose not to answer. All I said was, “Okay.” went down. It’s awkward. It’s really awful, to put it mildly.

In response to a request for comment from Mail Sport, a spokesperson for MLB said that it is standard to review all ejections.

TV replays made it quite evident that Boone remained silent just before being ejected, and the fan’s remark came from a seat just above the Yankees dugout, sporting a blue sweater.

After the game, Wendelstedt, however, astonishingly admitted his error and asserted that the abuse was coming from the Yankees’ dugout.

I don’t want to expel a ballplayer. Aaron Boone is the manager of the New York Yankees and is accountable for everything that occurs in that dugout, he stated, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

We must continue to play them. The supporters pay to watch that. Leading the Yankees is Aaron Boone. He was ejected.
