New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson has been active on social media, showing off his recent sporting endeavors.
On Saturday, Wilson made an appearance at the New York Liberty‘s first game of the WNBA season. In their matchup against the Las Vegas Aces, the Liberty took home the victory, 92-78.
After sitting courtside for the Liberty game, Wilson took a trip to watch Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees.
On Sunday, Wilson posted a few photos of his interaction with Judge ahead of the Yankees’ matchup against the New York Mets in the Subway Series.
Wilson was in attendance for his son Future’s 11th birthday. His son received signed gear from Judge after the family met the Yankees star.
“Best Bday gifts for Future +++ More,” Wilson said. “Thanks Homie! Future can’t stop smiling for his 11th Bday.”
Russell Wilson was interviewed before the New York Yankees versus New York Mets game, revealing the reasoning behind his decision to attend the Subway Series game.
“It’s my son’s 11th birthday tomorrow and all he wanted to do was go to a Yankees game” Wilson said, per SNY. “They just won the championship in San Diego and he played for the Yankees (little league), so he wanted to come see the Yankees.”
Wilson then explained how much he admired Aaron Judge, a guy with whom he was once locker room mates.
He was assigned to the Yankees’ Double-A affiliate in 2018 and wound up competing for the MLB team in spring training.
“You know obviously being on Aaron Judge, a guy that I was once locker room mates with him in the clubhouse,” Wilson said. “A guy that I usually admire, the great year he’s having… It’s just an honor to be here. The tradition of the New York Yankees is so unique and so special.”
