How many times has Aaron Boone been ejected in 2023? Yankees manager tossed against Baltimore Orioles

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone found himself ejected for the fourth time this season during Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The incident occurred when Boone engaged in a heated argument with home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso over the strike zone.

Boone's frustration was evident as he held up four fingers, indicating his belief that Moscoso had missed four crucial calls. The manager's displeasure escalated to the point where he may have unintentionally spat on Moscoso while arguing. Following his ejection, Boone continued his dispute with first base umpire Chris Guccione.

This recent ejection marked the second time Aaron Boone was thrown out of a game within a four-game span. The trigger for the altercation was Gunnar Henderson's out at first base, which concluded the top of the third innings. Earlier in the game, Henderson had received a walk after Moscoso called balls on three borderline pitches.
