The Yankees' manager has been hacking away during pre and post-game interviews this summer, raising some concerns about his health.
It’s not a deep bronchial bark, but more like a dry, nervous hack that never fully resolved this summer. Boone, who underwent heart surgery in 2009 to repair a defective valve and had a pacemaker implanted in 2021, says, “I feel great, there’s nothing to worry about.”“I’ve always coughed, like my whole life,” Boone said this weekend at Kauffman Stadium. “This year has been better, but last year it was much worse. I remember being in Milwaukee in August, it really continued.
The long history of hacking without other symptoms re-assures Boone that he’s fine. It’s probably nerves, he thinks, simple anxiety. Nothing more.
