Aaron Boone didn’t get to see the end of Friday’s Yankees-Blue Jays game from the dugout.
The Yankees skipper was ejected from the top of the sixth inning by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza over a disagreement about balls and strikes.
Luis Garcia Jr. was up with two outs in the sixth and took a breaking ball from Blue Jays starter that appeared to be well below the strike zone, but Carapazza called it a strike.
Boone uttered something, and then Carapazza took off his mask and looked toward the first base dugout and said: “What’d you say? I didn’t hear you.”
“I think it was down,” Boone replied calmly.
However, that was seemingly enough for Boone to get tossed for the fourth time this season and the 50th of his managerial career, tying him for 25th all-time.
Boone then came storming off the bench and got in the home plate umpire’s face before exiting for the clubhouse.
