And the replies ranged from Adele to Bad Bunny. Let’s find out which unique sound and style captivates each of the Yankee players!

So first of all, the New York Yankees captain, Aaron Judge, has been a longtime fan of the one-and-only Drake. When asked which musicians he’d like to attend, there was no hesitation in his response – as it had to be Drake’s. 

In fact, just last month, Judge received a warm welcome at Drake’s concert at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York. As soon as the crowd spotted the towering athlete in the crowd, a ‘Let’s go Yankees’ chant broke out, electrifying the atmosphere even further. 

Imagine the thrill of being at a Drake concert, feeling the pulsating beats and seeing the lights flashing, and then suddenly catching sight of a legendary sports star in the crowd? For Judge’s fans, it must’ve been an unforgettable moment.

And judging by the smile on his face and the fun he seemed to be having, it’s safe to say that the outfielder was loving every minute of it. 

Every Yankee had an interesting answer 

As for the rest, some Yankees had interesting answers. Kyle Higashioka, the Yankees catcher, knows the importance of ‘old is gold’ and said, “It’s gotta be somebody that’s dead.” Although he couldn’t decide on a particular artist in the end. Harrison Bader, on the other hand, had a clear choice – Vampire Weekend. 

Meanwhile, Michael King named his own sister, R&B artist Olivia King.

Carlos Rodon, on the other hand, claimed that he doesn’t go to concerts at all, while his teammate Wandy Peralta pestered him to say Don Miguelo, but Rodon eventually settled on Jon Pardi.
