Sunday’s scene extra to a growing list of lowlights for Boone, who logged an MLB-high 9 ejections past year and now sales opportunities all supervisors in suspensions. The 50-calendar year-old is also just a thirty day period taken out from serving a a single-recreation suspension pursuing his fourth ejection.
But, although some took him to activity for his most recent antics, other folks sided with Boone for protesting Merzel’s phone. Useless to say, Yankees devoted seems additional than eager to minimize Boone some slack, even as his ejections go on to rack up.
