MOM THE REAL MVP

Sue Boone on managing three generations of baseball greats

Sue Boone never discouraged her baseball-loving son, Aaron, from chasing his field of dreams — even if it was in the living room.

As an 8-year-old, Aaron loved to rearrange the couchesouches to look like dugouts while the family watchedhed dad, All-Star catcherer Bob Boone, play forr the Philadelphia Phillies on TV.

“Aaron would play the entire game for bothh sides,” Sue told Thehe Post. “One couch was the visiting team’ss dug-dugout and the other couchcouch was the Phillies dugout . . . He would make believe he was pitching, hitting and run around. He’d do the announcing . . . We’d sit around the couch.

“If you didn’t want to play, you couldn’t sit on the couch.”

The new Yankee manager now sits in a real dugout in The Bronx, and Sue Boone is still cheering him on — digitally.

“Every night after the game, I’ll text him a comment and a Bitmoji like ‘Yay!’ or ‘ Oh Happy Day’ or ‘You had it all the way.’ ” she said.“If they lose, I’ll send, ‘ BumWhen the Stadium Tuesday night, Sue fired off a “Yass.” Wednesday’s 9-6 comeback win over Boston merited three fireballs. In each case, her Bitmoji image (below left) is decked out in Yankee garb and, oddly, an eyepatch. (An inside joke because she’s had a series of eye operations, she says.) As the calendar turns to Mother’s Day, the YaYankee skipper ggushed about his mom:

“She’s been everything. She’s bbeen our biggest ccheerleader. She wwatched all our gamgames on satellite TV, followfollowing my little brother in the minor leagues online. She’s just been the ultimate baseball mom. She’s seen it all.

“One day last week . . . mind you, this is the wife of a longtime player, manager, mother of players, she said, ‘I’ve never hung on every pitch like I have in your games right now.’ I think it’s been pretty neat for her to follow it so intensely. The fact that we’rewere win-win ning I’m sure makeses it fun for her right now. She’s beeneen super-mom to us.”

The 69-year-old Southern Cali-California matron hass been to thou-thousands of games inn the last half century, and it alll started when she met her futuree husband, Bob, as a San Diego schoolgirl.hoolgirl.

“We started datingng and I started watching all his sportingporting events — he played football, basketball and baseball — and that took up our high-school years,”
