On August 15th, 2019, Aaron Boone, manager of the New York Yankees, was ejected from a game for the sixth time this season. This marked the most ejections for any manager in the Major League Baseball this season.
The ejection came after a call by the home plate umpire that Boone disagreed with. Boone was seen arguing with the umpire and was eventually ejected from the game. This is not the first time Boone has been ejected this season, as he has been ejected five other times in 2019.
Boone has been the manager of the Yankees since 2018 and has had a successful tenure so far. He led the team to a 100-win season in 2018 and is on track to do the same this year. However, his ejections have been a point of contention for some fans and media members who feel that he is too quick to argue with umpires.
Despite the criticism, Boone has been a successful manager for the Yankees and his ejections have not had any major impact on the team’s performance. The Yankees are still in first place in the American League East and are on track to make the playoffs.
It remains to be seen if Boone will be able to keep his cool in the future and avoid further ejections. Regardless, his ejections this season have been a reminder of how passionate he is about his team and their success.
