Ye scallywag of an umpire be sendin' Boone off fer a fan's cryin' from the bleachers! Blimey!

Avast ye mateys! The scallywag Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees was sent to Davy Jones' locker by the umpire Hunter Wendelstedt after a landlubber's words be mistaken for his own. Shiver me timbers!
Avast ye scallywags! The New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone got the old heave-ho from Monday’s skirmish against the Oakland Athletics afore the first out was even plundered.Arr, it turns out that a scurvy dog of a fan sitting above the Yankees’ dugout be the scallywag to blame for the foul call by the home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.With a base runner on first and Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon firing just five cannonballs, Boone dared to question a call made by Wendelstedt, who was not having it. The YES Network spyglass caught every word exchanged as Boone turned a blind eye in the dugout.“Ahoy, matey! Ye best be not screeching at me,” bellowed Wendelstedt sternly at Boone. “I did me duty and checked. I be on the lookout for him to be struck by the pitch. Have ye any more blather? Off ye go then. Savvy?”Boone, jawing his gum out on the field, caught wind of Wendelstedt’s salty tongue and was quick to walk the plank. He sprang from the dugout, pointing to the stands, pleading his innocence as Wendelstedt shouted, “I care not!”‘Twas a right shame that this marooning took place, but once the deed be done, there be no turning back. The MLB brass and the Yankees will be keeping a weather eye on this incident, as Boone called Wendelstedt’s actions “embarrassing” and hinted at a missive to the league. Arrr, the seas be rough for umpires this season, with this latest blunder like a shot across the bow.
