Ah, Aaron Boone getting ejected. It’s become quite the tradition to sit back and enjoy watching the New York Yankees manager get really angry at an umpire or say some NSFW stuff.
This time? In what ended up being a Yankees win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night — it included Aaron Judge’s side-eye weirdness — Boone argued balls and strikes with home plate ump Clint Vondrak. After getting tossed, he then tossed his gum in anger.
Everyone was impressed with the velocity of his throw — remember, he’s a former MLB infielder! — and there were lots of jokes made about it after:

Aaron Boone gum throw looked to have some decent spin rate
Will definitely need some additional analysis by @PitchingNinja
