The New York Yankees will reportedly hire Aaron Boone as their new manager after Joe Girardi and the team parted ways in October following a trip to the American League Championship Series.
The New York Daily News' Bill Madden first relayed word of the Bronx Bombers' decision to hire the former ESPN analyst and Yankee third baseman, who became a pinstriped folk hero when he hit an 11th-inning, walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS against the Boston Red Sox.
ESPN's Buster Olney confirmed the hire.
