On Saturday, the New York Yankees saw a number of their guys ejected in their 6-5 win over the Cleveland Indians. One of which was a player that wasn’t even on the field nor was saying anything—Brett Gardner.
Umpire Phil Cuzzi tossed Gardner for banging his bat on the roof of the dugout after manager Aaron Boone was ejected. Now, there’s a discussion about this. Are the dugout antics something that’s a problem and should be stopped? Should something like banging your bat even garner some sort of ejection or player-umpire altercation?
