NextImg:Aaron Boone moving on from erroneous Hunter Wendelstedt ejection flap

Aaron Boone isn’t holding a grudge. 

The Yankees’ manager is taking the high road following Monday’s unjust ejection

Prior to Tuesday’s game in The Bronx against the A’s, Boone said he spoke several times to Mike Hill, MLB’s senior vice president of on-field operations, about the situation and was told he would not be fined. 

In a loss to the A’s in the series opener, Boone was ejected in the first inning by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.

But it appeared that Wendelstedt was reacting to what a fan said after initially having words with Boone. 

“I saw his comments after the game. I think everyone has seen the video of what happened,” Boone said. “You saw my comments, you saw his comments. I’m beyond it now. Let’s move on. We have an important game tonight. That’s where my focus is, and just kind of moving on from it.”

After Monday’s game, Wendelstedt told a pool reporter that he had never thrown out a player or manager for something a fan said.

He went on to say that he heard something come from the far end of the dugout, and although it wasn’t the area where Boone was standing, he had to go as the manager of the team. 

Boone and Wendelstedt have yet to speak about the matter. But the Yankees skipper seemed at peace with it.

“I’ll keep what Mike said to me to me,” Boone said. “We had good conversations about it, and I feel good about where the league is on it, and again I’m ready to move on from it.”
