News broke yesterday that Washington Nationals legend Aaron Boone would be taking over as the new manager of the New York Yankees.
Yes, most may know Boone from his stint with the Yankees in the early 2000s, including a walk-off home run to send the Bronx Bombers to the World Series, but in Washington, D.C., there is no fact more well-known than Boone’s illustrious, long career with the Nats.
In his time in Washington, Boone hit .241 with a jaw-dropping 56 hits over 255 plate appearances in 104 games in 2008, including one whole home run, and also, Tim Dillard’s first strikeout.
