NextImg:Aaron Boone couldn’t comprehend his first-inning ejection: ‘It’s embarrassing’

Aaron Boone used two words to describe his first-inning ejection, which is two more than he said to earn the ejection in the first place.

The Yankees manager was tossed in the top of the first inning against the A’s on Monday afternoon after being warned by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt to stop complaining.

Boone did what Wendelstedt asked, but a fan in a nearby seat screamed at the umpire and he immediately tossed Boone.

“It’s embarrassing,” Boone said when asked about the ejection after the Yankees’ 2-0 loss to Oakland. “It really is a bad… It’s embarrassing. Just not good.”

Boone came charging out of the dugout after Wendelstedt ejected him and explained that he had not said anything after the warning.

That, somehow, did not matter.

“I don’t care who said it, you’re gone,” Wendelstedt said.

Boone said he did hear what the fan said to Wendelstedt, but wasn’t given much of an opportunity to clear his name.

“I did, and I heard somebody yell, but I was standing down and I heard ‘You’re gone, Aaron,” and I couldn’t believe it,” he said.
