MLB Ump Hunter Wendelstedt Explains Ejecting Yankees' Aaron Boone After Viral Video

MLB umpire Hunter Wendelstedt explained his reasoning behind ejecting New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Monday.

"Apparently what he said was there was a fan right above the dugout," Wendelstedt said after the game, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "This isn't my first ejection. In the entirety of my career, I have never ejected a player or a manager for something a fan has said. I understand that's going to be part of a story or something like that because that's what Aaron was portraying. I heard something come from the far end of the dugout, had nothing to do with his area but he's the manager of the Yankees.
