Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Deion Sanders: 'Ridiculous' How Michael Penix Jr. Gets Overlooked in 2024 NFL Draft
bleacherreport.com/articles/10118345-deion-sanders-ridiculous-how-michael-penix-jr-gets-overlooked-in-2024-nfl-draft
Quick Glance: Deion Sanders Criticizes Media and Critics for 'Ridiculous' Analysis of QB Michael Penix Jr.
- The coach of the Colorado team, Deion Sanders, is convinced that the former Washington quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., is not receiving enough attention as the 2024 NFL Draft approaches. On Wednesday, Sanders expressed a passionate message of support for Penix, just one day before the draft commences in Detroit.
- Despite concerns about age and injuries, Penix is ranked 30th in the CBS Sports NFL Draft Prospect Rankings and is the fifth quarterback in the hierarchy behind Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy. This placement still includes Penix in discussions for the first round.
- The only 'average game' Sanders is likely referring to would be the College Football Playoff National Championship game last year, where Washington lost 34-13 to Michigan. In that game, the left-handed passer completed 27 of 51 passes for 251 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, marking an unremarkable end to an incredible two-year run with the Huskies.
- Penix secured the second spot in the Heisman Trophy voting, leading in passing yards with 4,903 in 2023, and threw 36 touchdown passes while leading Washington to the Pac-12 title. Penix's 25-3 record as a starter for the Huskies is legendary for a team that had a 4-8 record the year before his arrival.
