A judge in the Judge’s Chambers? Now we’ve seen everything.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor watched the Yankees-Red Sox game in the Judge’s Chambers Thursday night.
The outfield section was dedicated to Aaron Judge in May after the top prospect launched a Major League-leading 15 home runs to start the season. Judge has since won the Home Run Derby and is currently second in MLB with 37 homers.
Sotomayor, a Bronx native, is an avid Yankees fan.
The Supreme Court Justice was seen wearing a judge’s robe with a Yankees logo, as well as holding a foam gavel with the words “ALL RISE!”
Sotomayor cheered when the struggling Judge coaxed a walk in the second inning against the Red Sox.
A team spokesperson said she would not be talking to the media.
Sotomayor has attended a number of Yankee games in the past and was spotted sitting in the Bleacher Creatures back in 2012.
“My life has changed so much and we have a new Yankee Stadium. But the spirit of the Yankees is still in the house,” Sotomayor told NJ.com at the time. “And it’s very moving for me and important to me, that the comfort that they gave me most of my life — in watching them most of the time win — continues. And you can tell I’m a shrill of a fan.”
Sotomayor was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice on Aug. 8, 2009, by Chief Justice John Roberts.
