VIDEO: Aaron Boone Makes it Clear He's Not Convinced Astros Didn't Use Buzzers to Cheat
By Jackson Thompson
The suspicious gestures of Jose Altuve after his ALCS Game 6 walk-off home run have left the baseball world with more than its fair share of questions. Yankees manager Aaron Boone did not rule out the possibility that Altuve was wearing a buzzer during the dinger at a press conference on Wednesday, marveling once more at the great unknown.
Aaron Boone on if he's convinced the Astros weren't wearing devices during last year's ALCS:

"No. That's certainly one of those great unknowns...I don't really dwell on things I am unable to control...I look at it now as it's time to move on and look forward" pic.twitter.com/WaLjP330IT
"That's certainly one of those great unknowns," Boone said. "I've spent time, as I'm sure a lot of people have, wondering all the things that could have potentially been going on, and we'll probably never know for sure, frankly."
For Boone, it is a topic that might strike him harder than it would most managers in baseball, as the integrity of a play that kept his team out of the World Series is now in question.

Altuve's home run ensured that the Yankees would not reach the World Series in the decade of the 2010s, the first decade since the 1910s that organization has failed to reach the Fall Classic.
Was it altogether legitimate? There's no way of knowing. That's what'll haunt you.
