Aaron Boone’s massive tantrum at Laz Diaz includes an pitch-perfect imitation of the ump

Is there anything funnier than an Aaron Boone argument with an ump?

We’ve seen him throw his gum, we’ve seen him say some NSFW stuff, yeah it’s a wild ride.

This time? As his New York Yankees faced the Chicago White Sox, he saw a called strike three against Anthony Volpe that he didn’t like. So Boone came out of the dugout, got in home plate ump Laz Diaz’s face, said what sounded like some NSFW stuff … and then imitated Diaz.

Seriously! He got behind the plate, did Diaz’s iconic punchout and, as they say, got his money’s worth.

The video is amazing, but check out the photos below it. They’re also amazing:

Aaron Boone did not hold back before getting ejected from tonight's game 😳
