Yankees' Aaron Boone erroneously ejected in record time as NSFW hot mic chaos ensues

We're well aware that MLB's umpires don't tend to like Aaron Boone much, who's been justifiably ejected from plenty of Yankees games in recent years. Monday's action heightened the degree of nonsense surrounding Boone to a level we've never previously seen, though.

Yankees starter Carlos Rodón spiked a two-strike slider to the first batter of Monday's matinee against the A's, which drilled Esteury Ruiz in the foot. Boone asked for a pause so he could evaluate reality; after all, Ruiz took a while to react, and there was a check-swing to parse through. In the end, Boone's suspicions were proven incorrect; he relented. Hunter Wendelstadt, the home plate umpire, did not take no for an answer.

"Guess what?!" Wendelstadt bellowed. "You're not yelling at me! I did what I was supposed to do, and checked! I'm looking for him to get hit by the pitch! Got anything else to say? You're gone."

Boone took the warning. All was quiet ... for between three and five more seconds, at which point Wendelstadt yanked an incensed Boone and all hell broke loose.

"I don't care who said it, you're gone," Wendelstadt said to justify something he heard from a source he couldn't place. Wherever the additional chirping came from, it wasn't Boone; the YES Network cameras were trained on him the entire time. He was told to shush, gave a thumbs up, and held tight for a few, at which point Wendelstadt panicked.

What ... the hell was that?

Boone, unable to convince any of the umpires to correct their obvious mistake, decided to go off, getting his money's worth before handing the reins to Brad Ausmus. If you were thankful for Wendelstadt's clear-as-day mic, which magnified a power trip, you only got more grateful seconds later, when Boone dropped some instant classics on this crew.

"I didn't say anything, Hunter! I did not say a f***ing thing!" Boone cried, but to no avail. He'd already been ejected because a loud man in a blue shirt, sitting in the first row, was less than pleased with Wendelstadt's aggression.

You could watch another million baseball games and never see an ejection this early or this baseless again. Somehow, though, Boone will still be the only one punished.
