New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone ejected after apparent case of mistaken identity and spat with umpire
cnn.com/2024/04/23/sport/aaron-boone-ejection-hunter-wendelstedt-mlb-spt-intl/
Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287545535.html
Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
- John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.
- The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.
- Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.
- This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.
