Aaron Boone Reveals He’s Slept At Yankee Stadium ‘Handful Of Times’ This Season

Some are passionate enough to eat, sleep and breathe their craft.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone has taken that notion to a whole new level.

New York currently sits atop the American League East, but it hasn’t been the smoothest ride. The team has battled the injury bug throughout the 2019 season and still has managed to collect the best record in the division.

Earning that spot took some dedication from Boone, who’s sometimes found himself crashing at a fairly unusual location.

“Yeah, I’ve (slept at Yankee Stadium) a handful of times this year. I actually enjoy it,” he told The Athletic’s Lindsey Adler. “I’ve got a nice comfy pull-out in my office now, but I do it more if the game goes late, especially on weekdays when we have a day game the next day, where I know I’ll be dealing with traffic and stuff. So it’s more of a, don’t race home to get back here. I actually enjoy those occasional nights when I know I don’t have to rush out of there.”

Now, that’s dedication.
