New York Knicks guards Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart took the mound at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, delivering the ceremonial first pitch before the New York Yankees’ game in the Bronx.
The appearance marked the latest stop on the Knicks’ offseason celebration tour, giving fans in another corner of the city a chance to salute two of the team’s most popular players.
The pair smiled and waved to the crowd after their tosses, then left the field to join friends and family in the stands as the Yankees prepared to start play.
The Yankees frequently invite prominent New Yorkers to handle pre-game duties, and Wednesday’s cameo underscored the cross-town camaraderie between the city’s NBA and MLB franchises.
