Aaron Boone’s animated ejection earned the admiration of his fellow MLB managers.
The Yankees skipper stated he heard from “quite a few” of his contemporaries after he drew a line within the dust close to house plate and mimicked umpire Laz Diaz’s strikeout name throughout Monday night time’s street sport in opposition to the Chicago White Sox.
Boone declined to share what different MLB managers advised him however stated it was “a lot of funny stuff.”
The ejection occurred after Diaz known as a 3rd strike in opposition to Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe within the eighth inning of Monday’s 5-1 loss.
“All I know is Laz was telling me, ‘Go.’ So he, I feel like in a way, egged me on to ‘go make a fool of yourself.’ I guess I obliged,” Boone stated.
Boone, who stated Monday that the change stemmed from his frustration over a number of calls, added Tuesday that he thought his outburst embarrassed his daughter, Bella.
The ejection was Boone’s sixth this season, which leads MLB managers.
“I don’t like doing that,” Boone stated.
“But I also felt like I needed to fight for what I thought was happening within that game.”
Boston’s Alex Cora stated he spoke to Boone Tuesday, telling reporters he loved the Yankees supervisor’s impersonation of Diaz.
“That was really good,” the Red Sox supervisor stated, in accordance with MassLive. “I told him the hips were really good. He got it right.”
