Yankees' Aaron Judge appears robbed of home run by umpires; manager Aaron Boone ejected on next pitch

For the 40th time in his managerial career, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected, and the reasoning came one pitch after Aaron Judge appeared to be robbed of a home run by the umpires at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Sunday afternoon. 

The Tampa Bay Rays’ replacement home field, which usually serves as the Yankees’ spring training facility, was part of the problem when Judge roped a ball 111.7 mph off his bat to left field in the top of the eighth inning. It wasn’t a matter of whether it would leave the park; would the ball stay fair?

The umpires called the ball foul, including home plate umpire Adam Beck and third base coach Scott Barry, but it went to a replay review called on by the crew instead of the Yankees.

Upon video review, it appeared the ball was fair as it landed in a tree behind the stadium in left field. But when umpires came back with their response, the call on the field stood as a foul ball. 

The Yankees’ dugout couldn’t believe it, and things got worse when Boone disagreed with the next pitch, a slider that Beck believed caught the strike zone to punch out Judge. 

RAYS SHORTSTOP HIKES BALL TO KICK OFF BIZARRE DOUBLE PLAY, ONE DAY AFTER ROBBING HOME RUN

Boone emerged from the dugout and unloaded on Beck, but he also took the time to yell at Barry. He walked down the third baseline to address the call they both made regarding Judge’s foul ball.

"The audacity of the call standing is remarkable," Boone said, per CBS Sports. "It’s a home run, didn’t go our way, though."

Judge added, "I think everybody is kind of scratching their head, but nothing we can do about it. They missed it, and we just have to move on."

Luckily for the Yankees, it didn’t hurt them in the end. Thanks to a brilliant performance by Max Fried on the mound, the Rays were held to just two hits, while his teammates smashed nine in the 4-0 win to complete the series. New York won three out of four games, with their only loss coming in a blown save situation for Devin Williams on Saturday night in Tampa Bay. 

If Judge’s home run had been ruled fair, he would’ve been tied with Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout and Seattle Mariners’ Cal Raleigh for the second-most in MLB with eight on the year. Oakland Athletics’ Tyler Soderstrom leads MLB with nine so far.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kimberly McGreevy testified about financial records, phone data, license plate readers and surveillance evidence that traced Routh’s movements from Hawaii to Florida ahead of the assassination attempt. McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
