Yankees: Aaron Boone’s blunder costs Game 1 vs. Braves

No rookie manager without prior managerial experience has ever taken his club to a World Series Championship in his rookie season. Despite leading his club to the second-best record in baseball (54-28), Yankees skipper Aaron Boone showed signs on Monday night why he might not be the first to do what no other man has done before him.

With the game on the line, in the bottom of the 10th inning and the score tied 3-3 vs. the best team in the NL East, the Atlanta Braves, Boone finds his club with men on second and third with one out.
