Yankees manager Aaron Boone always seems to get the most out of his ejections.
That happened again Monday night when he got thrown out of the Yankees-Blue Jays game in Toronto after getting into with the home plate umpire over a bad called strike on Aaron Judge.
Boone very loudly shared his feelings with Clint Vondrak and was quickly told that he would no longer be allowed to manage his team for the rest of the night.
Boone wasn’t happy about that and as he turned to walk off the field he threw his gum with what looked like a very high-speed toss:

Hopefully he iced down his arm after that.
Boone does have some gum-throwing history:
