VIDEO: Yankee's Manager Ejected from Game for Literally Doing Nothing Wrong.
Major League Baseball Umpires can be on a power trip. The power tripping MLB umpire during last night's Yankee's Vs Athletic's game is Hunter Wendelsted.
Hunter, who owns professional MLB umpire school unceremoniously ejected Yankee's manager, Aaron Boone, after a fan sitting in the stands behind the Yankee's Dugout in the vicinity of Aaron began heckling at the 20-year Veteran Senior Crew Chief Umpire for MLB. It was only 5 pitches into the game.
The live broadcast caught the moment the Yankee's manager was warned not to say anything else.
"I DIDN'T SAY A FUCKING THING", Yells Aaron Boone.
The home-plate umpire then says, "I DON'T CARE WHO SAID IT, YOU'RE GONE!" and ejects Aaron.
Boone then proceeded to come marching out of the dugout for a heated argument with Hunter Wendelsted.
UMPIRE ON A POWER TRIP
Broadcast shows MLB Umpire Hunter Wendelsted ejecting Yankee's manager Aaron Boone from the game just 5 pitches into the game.
Post Game Press Conference
After the game concluded, at which the Athletics won 2-0, Aaron Boone said at the pre conference that the incident was "Embarassing". He said he would pull a Karen move and go directly to the League Office and filing an official complaint against the umpire.
Meanwhile, Wendelstedt told a pool reporter he had not seen a replay of the incident.
"Apparently what he (Aaron Boone) said was there was a fan right above the dugout," Wendelstedt said.
"This isn’t my first ejection. In the entirety of my career, I have never ejected a player or a manager for something a fan has said. I understand that’s going to be part of a story or something like that because that’s what Aaron was portraying. I heard something come from the far end of the dugout, had nothing to do with his area, but he’s the manager of the Yankees. So he’s the one that had to go."
"Everything you said is exactly kind of what was communicated on the field," Wendelstedt continued. "That’s what Aaron said. He said that ‘a fan said it, a fan said it.' I said, 'I don’t care who said it.'
