Earlier today, Yankees manager Aaron Boone held his pregame press conference while wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt. He also told reporters that the team plans to make their own statement supporting BIPOC.
We’ve had conversations as an organization. We’ve had conversations as a team. We’ve had smaller group conservations, conversations with one another. We kind of decided as a team, not that necessarily everyone will be wearing these [t-shirts] for batting practice, I know a lot of guys are, I felt like I wanted to wear it. Tonight, as a team, we’ll have our own demonstration moving forward.
