Sotomayor Cheers On Yankees From The “Judge’s Chamber”

September 13, 2017

You can take the kid out of the Bronx, but you can’t take the Bronx out of the kid.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made headlines recently when she attended a Red Sox/Yankees game to support her beloved Yankees and their breakout star, Aaron Judge. But Justice Sotomayor did not sit in a secluded, private box, as you might expect from an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. She was in the “Judge’s Chamber” – the right-field section designated for Aaron Judge fans – a faux wood paneled section populated with “All Rise” signs, where fans are provided judicial robes with the Yankee logo and gavels. Based on the clips and the photos of the event, Justice Sotomayor – who donned one of the Yankee’s judges robe – relished her role as Aaron’s highest profile “colleague on the bench.”
