New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected for the second time this week after arguing with the umpiring crew during their weekend series win against the Cincinnati Reds.
Boone, 50, was returning to face the Reds for the first time as manager of the Yankees after spending six-and-a-half seasons there as a player. The incident prompting his ejection occurred at the bottom of the first inning as New York outfielder Jake Bauers fumbled a catch while sliding toward the right-field line.
After making contact with the ball but not holding onto it, a ball foul was called by first base umpire Nestor Ceja. That was despite the rookie making contact in fair territory while the ball was in play.
