Newz Forum: BASEBALL: Boone may miss the whole season

Aaron Boone could miss the whole of the baseball season after injuring his left knee playing basketball. Doctors believe the New York Yankees starting third baseman has torn his anterior cruciate ligament.

The Yankees have the opportunity to void part or all of the $5.75m contract Boone signed in December as basketball is listed as a potentially risky activity. Boone hit just .254 with six homers and 31 RBI in 54 games for the Yankees after being acquired from Cincinnati at the July 31 trade deadline. However, he assured himself a place in Yankee history with an 11th-inning homer that took his side to the 2003 World Series against the Florida Marlins.

when will they know how long he could be out for?

Well this is bad for the yanks.
