Madison Square Garden’s celebrity row was packed for New York’s win over the Miami Heat on Saturday with both Aaron Judge and Drake on hand, not to mention Tracy Morgan and the Knicks super fan Spike Lee.
The cameo for Judge and Drake comes with both making some minor news recently.
Much of the recent noise around the Yankees has been centered on where he’ll be playing in the outfield and hitting in the Bombers’ lineup. The off-season addition of Juan Soto likely pushes him out of right field and could potentially move him down in the batting order.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that for now the plan will be for Judge to hit third.
‘I think about it all the time,’ Boone said during an appearance on the Foul Territory podcast.

‘Right now, you’ll probably [see] Juan in the two-hole and Judge third. … I think you start with the idea that hopefully Judge and Soto are hitting back-to-back over 150 times this year.’
Drake on the other hand recently went viral after he blasted the ‘disgraceful’ leaking of a jail call between fellow rapper Young Thug and his girlfriend R&B singer Mariah the Scientist.
‘This gotta be some form of jail misconduct,’ Drake began. ‘You gonna drag this talented man then not be able to control your employees using his personal business for their own gain?
‘Somebody benefitted from this video even existing and that’s shameful whole case is a wash just 3 the guy and let him come home and continue bringing light to Atlanta!’
