Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected from Monday’s game against the Oakland Athletics after a fan behind the dugout made a remark to the plate umpire. Boone, who was questioning whether Oakland’s Esteury Ruiz swung at a pitch, was ejected by umpire Hunter Wendelstedt after the first pitch to Tyler Nevin. Wendelstedt had earlier warned Boone that he would be ejected if he continued to yell at him. Boone and other Yankees pointed to the fan behind the dugout, and Boone ran onto the field to make his point that he didn’t say anything. Wendelstedt responded that he didn’t care who said it, and Boone was gone. This is the second time Boone has been ejected this season and the 35th time in seven seasons as Yankees manager.
