Approximately a few miles from the zero zone, Trump received a mostly positive ovation of the more than 40,000 people in the Yankee Stadium. However, the crowd could overcome the differences for multiple songs of “USA.” Throughout the night.
“It was an incredible night. Meaning,” said manager Aaron Boone to journalists after the game. “Captain [Aaron Judge] I simply talked about it, just making us a little aligned together, first for the moment of silence, then return to the anthem, and that rumor that New York City can create, you definitely felt it tonight. Obviously, the president is here, just an additional layer. September baseball against a really good club. A special night to be part, and we hope that none of us would take it for granted. “
Trump met the Yankees at the Club House and called Judge a “fantastic player.” The reigning of the MVP (and the favorite of winning again this year) responded a home run in each of his first two shifts to bat and drawing Joe Dimaggio for fourth place in the list of home runs of all time of the Yankees.
