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.”
