Home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt doubled down on his decision to eject New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone just five pitches into Monday's game.
A wild scene unfolded at Yankee Stadium just five pitches into the game, as home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt tossed New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone from the game. However, it appeared a fan screaming toward Wendelstedt triggered the veteran umpire to eject Boone, who had words with him just seconds earlier, from the game. After the Oakland Athletics won, 2-0, over the Yankees, Boone spoke with reporters, during which he called Wendelstedt’s move 'embarrassing.
After the game, Wendelstedt told a pool reporter he had not seen a replay of the incident. 'Apparently what he said was there was a fan right above the dugout,' Wendelstedt said, via MLB.com. 'This isn’t my first ejection. In the entirety of my career, I have never ejected a player or a manager for something a fan has said. I understand that’s going to be part of a story or something like that because that’s what Aaron was portraying.
