The music was already thumping through the team speakers, a pregame ritual the Yankees have come to love. However, on this specific day, the bassline felt a little heavier. Something was distinctive, something fresh had walked through those team doors, and the stars could not help but take notice. It wasn’t a pep talk. It was a gesture so effortless yet effective that it had the media buzzing, and when Aaron Judge, the face of the New York Yankees, gave his reaction, it became instantly viral.

It all began when an internationally recognized music icon, Feid (also known as Ferxxo), stepped onto the Yankees’ field with something unexpected in hand. The music star was not there to throw the first pitch. Instead, he brought with him custom-designed caps, mixing his signature style with the timeless brand logo of the Yankees. Priced at $59.99, the FERXXO x New York Yankees 59FIFTY caps were sleek, attractive, and quickly caught the attention.

The reaction was instant. Cameras were out, and in the corner, the team’s captain, Judge, was clearly impressed. That is when it happened—he dropped a shoutout, giving full credit to the music star behind the surprise.

Sharing a post by the Yankees’ official Instagram account with the caption, Thanks to @feid for coming to Yankees stadium and gifting players his new FERXXO Yankees cap,” Judge mentioned Feid with two fire emojis. The post featured Feid sharing a laugh with Judge while the camera captured them candidly. Yankees also shared some more pictures from that day, including one in which Fied donned a Yankees jersey and posed for the camera in sunglasses. 

Feid, famous for his tracks like Hey Mor,” “CHIMBITA,” “FUMETEO,” “CORONE,” and “SI TÚ,” was not just handing out merch by gifting the caps. He was bridging the gap between music and sports on the most iconic team in baseball. It was also a reminder that pop culture and MLB are not just compatible—they thrive together when done right. While Feid’s surprise lit up the team and had the captain shouting him out, it is not the only thing the Yankees’ star has been flexing lately.

Historic numbers stack up as Aaron Judge enters rare air

Coming off the shoutout, what is louder is what happens every time Aaron Judge steps into the batter’s box. The star is not just carrying a hot streak—he is crafting a season that is compelling comparisons with the most elite names in MLB history. Through the first 62 games, Judge has delivered a jaw-dropping .397 batting average and 21 home runs, a combination matched only by Rogers Hornsby in 1925. That year, the veteran won MVP and posted the greatest offensive season ever. Seems like Judge is following that exact script.

The comparisons do not stop there. Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle, two Yankees legends, are also part of this elite statistical company. Gehrig hit .373 in 1927 with 173 RBIs, and Mantle was batting .392 through 62 games in 1957. The two stars went on to win MVPs. However, Judge? He is already a two-time MVP winner. He is also leading all of baseball in OBP at .495 and slugging at .759. Judge also ranks in the top five in home runs and RBIs.
