ANAHEIM, Calif. — The most exhausting part of Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s Saturday was just after the final out of his club’s 11-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
Instead of doing his post-game news conference in his office, which usually occurs following road games, Boone was told to head way up from field level to near the top of Angel Stadium to meet with reporters in a press box-level conference room.
He took the stairs instead of the busy fan-filled elevators that were nearby, and the climb was long enough that Boone was huffing and puffing while answering questions.
