New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected from Monday’s game against the Oakland Athletics after a heated exchange with home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt. The incident began when A’s leadoff hitter Esteury Ruiz was hit by a pitch on the back foot. As the pitch grazed Ruiz’s foot, he appeared to check his swing, but first base umpire John Tumpane ruled that he did not swing. Boone appeared to want the hit-by-pitch checked as well and made his wishes known to Wendelstedt. After the next pitch, a strike to Tyler Nevin, a fiery Wendelstedt informed Boone that he had already checked on the hit-by-pitch. Wendelstedt then ejected Boone after a fan sitting behind the Yankees dugout appeared to say something that the umpire took exception to. Boone was enraged and tried to explain that he hadn’t said anything.
