Aaron Boone ejected after umpire mistakes fan abuse for the Yankees manager in first inning - and their furious row is caught on hot mic: 'BULLS***! I didn't say a f***ing word!'

Aaron Boone was sensationally ejected just one batter into Yankees vs Oakland Athletics on Monday when umpire Hunter Wendelstedt mistakenly thought crowd abuse came from the New York manager.

In astonishing scenes at Yankee Stadium, Wendesltedt first clashed Boone over a strike call seconds before his mistake, and could be heard on television yelling: 'If you've got anything else to say, you are gone.'

Boone stood silently and gave the umpire a thumbs up in acceptance at his warning but as Wendelstedt turned back away, he heard something from a fan, sat above the New York dugout, that he thought was Boone. 

It was two strikes and out for the Yankees manager, as Wendelstedt called back: 'Aaron, you're gone.' 

Boone, who does have a history of angry clashes with MLB umpires, was understandably stunned and pointed back into the stands at Yankee Stadium before racing over to Wendelstedt to make his case. 

Television replays clearly showed Boone didn't say anything and the comment came from a fan sat directly above the Yankees dugout, wearing a blue sweater. 

Boone screamed: 'I did not say a word, it was the crowd! Bulls***! I did not say anything, Hunter! I didn't say a f***ing word!'

As Boone continued to desperately plead his innocence, Wendelstedt said: 'I don't care who said it, you're gone.'

YES Network, the broadcaster of Monday afternoon's game, shared footage of Boone stood in silence for several seconds before Wendelstedt ejected him.
