New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone made an early exit in Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox after a heated argument with home plate umpire Laz Diaz. Known for his inconsistent calls, Diaz rang up Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe on a called strike three in the eighth inning that appeared to just miss the edge of the plate. Boone was caught on replay shouting at Diaz and was subsequently ejected from the game. The manager stormed out of the dugout and confronted Diaz, who responded in kind. To express his disagreement, Boone drew a line in the dirt to show where he believed the pitch should have been, and even mockingly imitated Diaz’s “strike three” signal. After a heated exchange, Boone eventually returned to the dugout. This is Boone’s sixth ejection this season, making him the most ejected manager in the American League. The Yankees struggled throughout the game, leaving 13 runners on base and ultimately losing 5-1 to the White Sox. After the game, Boone admitted that Diaz may have been correct about the strike call against Volpe. Despite their frustrations, Boone acknowledged the outstanding performance of White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease, who walked seven batters but only allowed one hit. The gesture made by Boone quickly became a meme on the internet, with users comparing it to various dance moves and even 18th-century French art. With this loss, the Yankees have fallen to last place in the AL East and are now five-and-a-half games behind in the Wild Card race.
