The New York Yankees faced off against their historic rivals, the Boston Red Sox, in an intense game at Fenway Park. Yankees' ace Aaron Judge proved his worth by tying the game with a monstrous 443-foot home run in the ninth inning, just after Boston's Garrett Crochet delivered an impressive 8.1 scoreless innings. However, the game took a tumultuous turn in the extra innings, culminating in an ejection of Yankees manager Aaron Boone in the 10th, after he vehemently protested a foul ball call.

As the controversy unfolded, DJ LeMahieu was also ejected for questioning the umpire's decision without any overt display of anger, which ignited criticism among fans about the current state of officiating in Major League Baseball. Many fans expressed frustration over the perceived lack of accountability among umpires, with some calling for the implementation of robotic umpires. Ultimately, New York suffered a walk-off loss, fueling further discontent amongst their loyal fan base regarding officiating standards.
