Yankees' Aaron Boone mimics ump after AL-leading 6th ejection

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone made the most of his latest ejection.

After being booted by plate umpire Laz Diaz over a called third strike in the eighth inning Monday, Boone launched into a theatrical, arm-waving display that included a mocking imitation of Diaz.

It was the American League-leading sixth ejection this season for Boone, who admitted to being "pretty upset" after the Yankees' 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The final straw for Boone apparently was a called third strike on Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe, who seemed upset at Diaz, although the pitch in question appeared to be a strike.
