Drake brought out the Bombers at Madison Square Garden.
As the rapper headed down the stairs from the concourse toward the stage at the world’s most famous arena, he was flanked by Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
The trio doled out high fives to admiring fans along the way.
Judge rocked a shirt featuring several former Knicks stars, with Patrick Ewing front-and-center and additional images of Walt “Clyde” Frazier, John Starks and Carmelo Anthony.
Sunday night was Drake’s first of three shows at the Garden this week, with the other two coming on Tuesday and Wednesday.
He also performed at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday night.
Yankees fans are waiting with bated breath for Judge to return to the lineup.
He has been out since early June, after tearing a ligament in his right big toe as he made a great catch running into the wall.
A step toward the return happened on Sunday morning, when Judge took live batting practice off of Jonathan Loaisiga, who is also rehabbing an injury.
“It’s not going to get any harder than that, facing Jonny Lo in your first live session,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday.
“To have Aaron get in there and be able to have to take pitches, where you’re swing, swing, swing, no, those are good tests that he’s got to go through in working his way back.”
Boone also said that Judge looked “good” in his first live reps.
The Yankees are 53-47, but tied for last place with the Red Sox in the stacked AL East, and two games behind the Blue Jays for the third and final Wild Card slot.
