Fans of the New York Yankees had a little fun with their players on Tuesday night during the final game of a two-game set with their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets.
In addition to seeing the Yankees win both games and earn a two-game sweep, the fans got a chance to serenade their players while they were out on the field.
It started when one fan began chanting Aaron Judge‘s name.
The rest of the crowd joined in, and they didn’t stop until Judge waved to them.
They then kept it going for everybody out on the field, including Andrew Benintendi, Anthony Rizzo, and Gleyber Torres.

Yanks Fans Show Their Love
That’s how you make the players love you if you’re a fan.
Yankees fans had some fun banter last night with their squad in their traditional roll call.
It has to make a player feel good when his team’s fans are all chanting his name.
Judge has certainly earned that, given that he’s putting together a season that will surely net him the American League MVP Award.
But for Benintendi, it’s an interesting dynamic.
An ex-member of the Boston Red Sox, Benintendi went from being hated in New York to absolutely loved, so it has to feel a little bit weird for him.
As for everybody else, having their name chanted at Yankee Stadium by the home fans has to feel like somewhat of an honor.
It’s a nice way to make them feel at home and it’s a good little tradition that they have in the Bronx.
It certainly beats getting yelled at for the wrong reasons.
Yankees fans are some of the most loyal fans in all of baseball, and they put that on full display on Tuesday with a packed house.
