In the middle of the week, New York Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone had to endure a scary moment when he learned he needed surgery to insert a pacemaker. After all, he did have heart issues in the past and it felt like the perfect time to do it knowing that the team’s bench coach, Carlos Mendoza, would take good care of the squad in his absence.
He had the surgery on Wednesday, and amid slow, rest-filled days, he says he feels ready for a new chapter. Boone is already feeling better and wants to return to the New York Yankees.
