The Yankees are riding high, basking in the glory of their AL East dominance and launching home runs like there’s no tomorrow. The Bronx Bombers have looked every bit the part of contenders, thrilling fans with their explosive offense and sharp execution. But just when you thought they’d run out of surprises, the Yankees threw a curveball. But this time, it’s off the field.
It’s not a hot bat or a breakout rookie turning heads. It’s a reunion, with a name that once lit up their minor league system. He’s now better known for commanding huddles than turning double plays. Yes, we’re talking about none other than the New York Giants’ new quarterback, Russell Wilson!
But what really caught fans off guard was the noticeable height difference in their reunion photo. Wilson stands at an impressive 1.9 meters, but Aaron Judge, at 2.01 meters, clearly towers over him. Now, that’s a detail that had fans laughing. Check out the striking visual contrast, would you?

Before Sunday night’s Subway Series finale, Wilson caught up with some familiar faces in the Yankees clubhouse, including star slugger Aaron Judge. Though Wilson wasn’t a teammate in the traditional sense, he had more of a motivational presence during spring training with the Yanks. A role that may have been just what the team needed ahead of their crucial matchup with the Mets.
Sounds surprising that an NFL QB just had a reunion with the Yankees?
Well, for starters, Wilson’s ties to the Yankees began in 2018 when the team obtained his rights from the Rangers. He took part in spring training, realizing a childhood dream of wearing the iconic pinstripes. While in camp, he stood out for his dedication and positive influence in the clubhouse, even though he didn’t secure a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Now, do you think Wilson could help the Yankees get the better of the Mets in the Subway Series? Keep an eye on this space to know more…
