Former Bombers slugger Dave Winfield also joined in on the fun.

South Bronx native rapper Fat Joe answered Ice Cube’s Game 2 pregame performance by electrifying the Game 3 crowd with his hits “Lean Back” and “All The Way Up,” while “Hamilton” star and the Queens-based born Leslie Odom Jr. sang the national anthem before the first World Series game in The Bronx in 15 years.

Yonkers’ own Jadakiss also returned home to catch the Bombers in a crucial game.

They weren’t the only ones who came to see if the Bronx Bombers could make a comeback after their 0-2 series hole.

New York-born actor Timothée Chalamet took in the sights in a star-studded suite that included stars Kate Hudson and Paul Giamatti, rappers Meek Mill, A Boogie, Mike Towers and El Afla, former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony and 76ers forward Paul George.

Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu – fresh off her WNBA championship – also got some love on the Yankees video board.
