Aaron Boone’s Fiery Exit: What’s Fueling His Unprecedented String of Ejections This Season?
Watching Aaron Boone storm out of yet another Yankees game feels almost routine now — Sunday’s ejection marked his fifth trip down that fiery road this season, coming early in the third inning against the Astros. Boone’s dispute sparked over a strike call on a sinker to Ryan McMahon — the kind of moment that boils over quickly when you’re managing the house that Ruth built. Derek Thomas, the plate umpire, wasn’t having any of it, cutting Boone off with a curt “I’ve heard you enough Aaron” before showing him the exit. Even as Boone kept battling for a few more seconds, Jordan Baker stepped in to help ease things back into the game; McMahon ended up flying out to center field, but not before Boone made his mark on the day’s drama.
