New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has led or co-led American League managers in ejections each of the past two seasons, and he's on pace to do that again in 2023 with an AL-leading four ejections.
One might think that umpires are tired of Boone, who has the third-highest ejection rate in MLB history, per ESPN's Joon Lee. However, umpires aren't taking his behavior personally.
Per Lee, Boone's "relationships with the crews behind the scenes remain extremely friendly and cordial, according to multiple umpires."
"If he crosses a line and makes it personal, then he's probably going to get ejected, but he comes from a great baseball family and he knows what his job is," one umpire told Lee.
