AARON Boone has left baseball fans in stitches with his latest on-field outburst.

The New York Yankees manager, 50, was ejected after screaming at officials during Monday’s 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Boone now leads the AL in ejections this season after being ordered from the game following an extraordinary eighth-inning meltdown.

He blew his fuse at home plate umpire Laz Diaz after a number of contentious strike zone calls.

After getting up in Diaz’s face, Boone was ejected by the umpires for the sixth time this season.

But he wasn’t finished, appearing to roar “you f***ing stink” at Diaz before heading to the batter’s box.

Boone crouched down on the ground before emphatically drawing a line in the sand.

It appeared that Boone was marking the spot Diaz mistakenly called a strike on Anthony Volpe earlier in the inning.

The Yankees manager returned to have another go at Diaz, before he was ushered away by the umpiring crew and bench coach Carlos Mendoza.

However, he still found time to throw a mock strikeout sign before storming from the field.

Fans were in hysterics in the exchange, with one fan laughing at the video: “Love to see Boone throw down. Bring me robot umpires.”

Another said: “Baseball’s been missing these types of arguments.”

While a third joked: “I mean the strikeout sign after drawing a line is an ALL-TIME ejection.”

And a fourth said: “I like watching Aaron Boone argue with umpires. Old school.”

A fifth added: “Easily the funniest moment of the season.”

It was a frustrating night for the Yankees, who drop to 58-55 in the regular MLB season.

They left 13 runners on base and struck out 12 times, mustering just one run.

Asked about the incident following the game, Boone said: “I was pretty upset. I just think there were a ton of pitches all night.”

“It’s not about the umpiring. We’ve got to capitalize.”
