The first game of the Yankees-Mets Subway Series battle this season featured many luminaries from different career fields Tuesday night at Citi Field.
Former Mets Matt Harvey and Mike Piazza were in attendance as well as Gary Sheffield, Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawbery, who played for both New York teams.
Celebrities Kenny Smith, Guy Fieri, Mike Francesa and Bill O’Reilly also attended the Queens game.
The 2024 NBA Draft was also present at the game, as Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard, who many projected to be a top-five pick, rejected the first throw.
Stars and celebrities attended a Subway Series battle, won 9-7 by the Mets, that had a little bit of everything.
The Amazin hit four home runs off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who allowed six runs in just four innings, to take a big lead.
But Mets fans must have been sweating after Aaron Judge hit a grand slam in the eighth inning to bring the Yankees within two, 9-7, but the Amazin held on to win the first of two games at Citi Field by this score.
Judge, who had five RBIs in the loss, now has the MLB lead in home runs (29) and RBIs (75), but that wasn’t enough for the reeling Yankees who are 3 -7 in their last 10 games.
