NSFW video shows umpire Hunter Wendelstedt told Aaron Boone he was 'probably right' about fan yelling to get Yankees manager ejected
It was one of the weirder ejections we’ve seen in baseball: New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was warned by umpire Hunter Wendelstedt not to complain further about a call, and Boone complied.
But then Wendelstedt heard something from Boone’s direction — which turned out to be a Yankees fan yelling at the ump — and he ejected the manager.
Wendelstedt’s explanation later was pretty bad, but thanks to Jomboy — known for breaking down Boone ejection videos over the years — is on the case. There’s one piece of audio that’s fascinating, in which the umpire says that Boone “is probably right” that he didn’t say anything.
Here’s the video and WARNING: LOTS OF NSFW LANGUAGE AHEAD!
