The rant was captured by television microphones, and Boone's repeated reference to his hitters as "savages" in the batter's box went viral and was being sold online on T-shirts before the game ended.
Boone aimed a memorable tirade at plate umpire Brennan Miller following his ejection during a doubleheader opener against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Boone was ejected in the second inning Thursday for arguing from the dugout with rookie umpire Brennan Miller, who had called a third strike on Brett Gardner.
Gardner returned to the dugout, slammed his bat into the bat rack nine times, then eight times into the dugout roof.

Klopp relaxed over contract talks

John Obi Mikel officially retires internationally
Super Eagles Captain John Obi Mikel has announced his retirement from the senior national team after after 13 years of service. However he wasn't given a last hooray on the team's final day, in the third place play-off match against Tunisia .
Eventually, Miller had had enough of Boone's dugout critique and ejected him from the game, prompting the Yankees boss to leave the dugout and make a bee-line for the official, as he gave the umpire a totally unfiltered piece of his mind. Boone ran out and kept up the argument, getting close to Miller's face and clapping his hands for emphasis in a profanity filled rant.
"My guys are fucking savages in that fucking box right?" "And, you're having a piece of s**t start to this game". "I feel bad for you, but f-- get better", Boone said, going on to repeat his thoughts several times. "Tighten it up right now, OK?"
Following the 6-2 victory, Boone admitted his emotions got the better of him.
