Valentine’s Day recently took place with some New York Yankees players training like any other day. But the Yankees’ official Twitter account had a special surprise for fans. They shared several Valentine’s Day cards for fans to enjoy. Among them were cards based on Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo, Judge and Rizzo together, and Judge and Rizzo’s dogs.

In the Tweet, the Yankees said, “We make the perfect pair 😊”. The cards contained some funny puns as well. One of them had a picture of Judge and the card read, “You’re the Captain of My Heart”
