New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was not pleased with the Philadelphia Phillies home-field advantage Thursday night after a group of fans showed up to show their support just outside the gates of Ashburn Alley.

So I thought there was a timing element to it,” Boone told reporters. “I didn’t necessarily think they would be able to do anything about it. I didn’t necessarily know who or where it was coming from, but it was something I at least wanted to point out.”
