Yankees manager Aaron Boone ejected after fan mouths off to home plate umpire

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected from his team's game against the Oakland Athletics on Monday for doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This isn't a "gotcha" scenario or a bait-and-switch. Boone did nothing to get ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt and was simply standing in the dugout. Unfortunately for him, he was standing directly underneath a mouthy fan who might have sounded an awful lot like Boone.

The whole incident started during the second at-bat of the game. With right fielder Tyler Nevin batting, Boone had been jawing at Wendelstedt, which Wendelstedt wasn't having.
