Yankees: Put some respect on Aaron Boone’s name
After becoming the first manager in MLB history to win 100 games in each of his first two seasons, it’s time to officially give Yankees skipper Aaron Boone the credit he deserves.
When 12-year MLB veteran and then ESPN color commentator Aaron Boone was hired to become the Yankees 33rd manager in club history, a lot was made about his anointment — that Boone was hand-picked by general manager Brian Cashman so that Cash could actually be the one to call the on-field shots.
After all, it was an ugly breakup between the Yanks and Joe Girardi following a 10-year run that ended just one game shy of reaching the World Series in 2017.
