It was a night to forget on the South Side of Chicago for the New York Yankees on Monday.
New York was dominated by Chicago White Sox ace Dylan Cease as they fell, 5-1.
During the game, a controversial strike-three call led to a familiar sight, that being an ejection of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who was tossed for the sixth time this year, the most of any manager in baseball.
After being tossed, Boone imitated the strike-three call of home plate umpire Laz Diaz.
On Twitter, a Yankees fan made a hilarious meme out of the moment, with a caption that read, “Me trying to start my lawn mower,” above a picture of Boone mimicking Diaz.

Boone had certainly had enough after yet another controversial strike call.
The call came in the top of the eighth when Anthony Volpe was at the plate, as a pitch low and outside of the zone was called for strike three.
This led to an argument from Boone, who was subsequently thrown out of the game.
Boone then got in the face of Diaz and unleashed a tirade before drawing a line in the dirt to show where the pitch was.
He then poked fun at Diaz and made a funny face to imitate the strike call.
Sure enough, the motion of starting a lawn mower and calling strike three are somewhat similar.
So, this fan had a fun idea and ultimately created a hilarious meme out of Boone’s imitation of Diaz.
