Yankees’ Aaron Boone suspended 1 game by MLB for conduct toward umpires
NEW YORK (AP) - Yankees manager Aaron Boone was suspended for one game and fined by Major League Baseball on Friday "for his recent conduct toward major league umpires.”
MLB senior vice president for on-field operations Michael Hill made the announcement and said Boone’s actions following his ejection from Thursday night’s game against Baltimore were among the factors in the discipline.
Boone was ejected for the major league-high fourth time this season, the most among big league managers, when he was angry with the strike zone. He appeared to get spit on an umpire while yelling after he was tossed.
Boone’s suspension was announced 1 1/2 hours before the Yankees played their series opener against San Diego.
