This was announced by the Yankees on the 4th. Mr. Boone, 44, played a major league debut at Reds in 1997 as an infielder, has played on six teams, and has played in all-star games.

Midway through the 2003 season he moved to the Yankees and played with Mr. Hideki Matsui who was the first year of Yankees joining at that time. In this year's American League victory decision series, Mr. Boone made a great contribution to the team's league championship and world series entry by hitting a goodbye run 11 times in extra seventh round with rival Red Sox.

After retirement in 2010, it is unusual for the Yankees to serve as commentator for television and take over as director without experience as a leader.

Boon commented, "I am very happy to be part of that as the Yankees enter into a new era."

The Yankees of this season won the playoffs with the rise of Tanaka pitcher's favor and Aaron Judge players such as rookies and won one more victory before winning the American League. Mr. Boone is attracting attention as to what kind of team will be made after Joe Girardi's former coach who had the team for 10 years.
