Aaron Boone expressed frustration after second baseman Jazz Chisholm flashed a green lollipop in the fifth inning of Monday’s 7-3 win over Detroit. The Yankees kept first‑place standing, but Boone said the candy‑capped appearance “pissed me off” and promised it won’t happen again. He learned of the stunt only after the game, while the crowd chuckled.

The incident marks Chisholm’s second on‑field sweet‑treat, the first during an at‑bat against Boston earlier this year. Boone, surprised by the repeat, asked if the habit would continue. Chisholm’s recent week also included a groin‑impact foul and a protest over a dirt‑cam delay, drawing media chatter yet leaving his defensive metrics steady.

Despite the odd distractions, New York sits at 46-31, leading the AL with a two‑game cushion over Tampa Bay. The win keeps the Yankees on a three‑game winning streak after a brief slump. Boone’s admonition underscores his demand for professionalism, signaling that off‑field antics will not interfere with the club’s push for postseason positioning.

Boone’s clear message reinforces clubhouse discipline as the Yankees chase a postseason berth. Maintaining focus on fundamentals will be crucial if the club hopes to extend its lead over the Rays and secure home‑field advantage.
