Aaron Boone Says He Awarded Aaron Judge the Game Ball After First Ejection

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge was ejected for the first time in his career during Saturday's clash with the Detroit Tigers after voicing his displeasure with a called third strike to home plate umpire Ryan Blakney.

During an appearance on the Talkin' Yanks podcast on Tuesday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who is no stranger to being ejected from ballgames, weighed in on the incident and revealed what he said to Judge after the game.

"It was surprising. I don't think he should've got ejected," Boone said.
