Yankees manager Aaron Boone draws the line after Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s lollipop incident: 'P----s me off'
المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsAt least Jazz Chisholm Jr. did not have chewing tobacco in his mouth.
The New York Yankees' second baseman, however, was caught sucking on a lollipop while playing defense in Detroit on Tuesday.
As opposed to perhaps sunflower seeds or bubble gum, it was a rather striking sight, as the Yankees were trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Tigers amid a mini-skid.

Chisholm is normally pretty nonchalant, and manager Aaron Boone is rather stoic and defends his players sometimes to a fault. But the lollipop is where the line was drawn.
"That p----s me off," Boone told "Talkin' Yanks." "I didn't know about it until after the game. He and I talked about that. That won't be going on. I'm not on that."
Chisholm is certainly not one to hide away from, well, anything. He embraced boos in Kansas City after saying the Royals "got lucky" against the Yanks in Game 2 of the 2024 American League Division Series.
Before this season, he boldly claimed he would produce 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases (he is at 11 and 23 roughly halfway through the season), and earlier this month, he predicted the Yankees would win their 28th World Series title.
Chisholm is currently on pace for his worst season in the big leagues, as his .226 average, .406 slugging percentage and .716 OPS are all the worst marks of his career.
He is set to hit free agency after this season, and before the season, he made it known he wanted a contract in the range of $350 million.
