Regardless of what loudmouths on social media, WFAN, wherever say about Yankees manager Aaron Boone, it’s hard to deny a basic truth: The guy is a pretty good manager.
No, don’t grab the pitchforks and storm my desk. Think about it. Aaron Boone made the move from the ESPN booth to managing a baseball team with no prior coaching experience almost too seamlessly, and in New York to boot! His overall record is 663-483 as his eighth season winds down. That puts him seventh in Yankees all-time history, sandwiched right between two renowned skippers themselves, Joe Girardi and the late Billy Martin.
