New York Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone has little worry in standing up for his gamers and making sure they are safeguarded. He showed that again Thursday, and not because of anything the Philadelphia Phillies did, however what their fans outside Citizens Bank Park were doing..
According to the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast, a group of Phillies fans — dubbed the “Fandemic Crew”– have actually gathered beyond center field to cheer from afar given that the opening weekend series versus the Miami Marlins. And throughout the third inning of the Yankees-Phillies series finale, the “Fandemic Crew” broke out the air horns while New York was batting..
That resulted in Boone leaving his perch in the Yankees dugout to plead his case with the umpiring crew..
” In the environment were in, its nearly like a golf environment … so I thought it was a timing thing,” Boone said. “I didnt necessarily know if (the umpires) could do anything about it.
The fans tactic proved successful, as Phillies left-hander Zack Elfin retired the side in order that inning..
On Wednesday, the “Fandemic Crew” presumed as to employ the services of a drumline..
” The drumline (Wednesday) was insane,” Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery said, per NBC Sports Philadelphia.
The Phillies players seem to appreciate the enthusiasm from fans..
” They had the horn going quite well tonight and I heard a few of their chants,” said catcher JT Realmuto, who hit a three-run homer in the Phillies 5-4 triumph. “Its fun.”.
