What Yankees' Aaron Boone did to earn 1-game suspension from MLB

NEW YORK -- A couple weeks ago, Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre was at Yankee Stadium to take part in a 20-year reunion for the Yankees' 1998 World Series championship team.

Now working for MLB as Chief Baseball Officer, Torre returned Saturday on official capacity.

Torre showed up to give Yankees skipper Aaron Boone a heads up that a suspension from Major League Baseball was forthcoming.

While arguing his way to an ejection for arguing balls and strikes during Friday night's game, Boone's cap nicked plate umpire Nic Lentz's cap. Any physical contact with umpires is a no-no, and by Sunday morning Boone was handed a one-game suspension.
