Celebrities Who Are Super Fans of the Yankees

It's amazing to see how the Yankees sell out their stadium every single time. Many viewers are turned down daily because the facility is filled. People are even forced to buy tickets well ahead of every game to avoid disappointment. Indeed, it would be an understatement to say that Yankee fans breathe the sports.

What's, however, more impressive is that many celebrities are among these die-hard fans. So naturally, they join in the scramble for tickets too, and their faces are often spotted in the crowd. Among them are movie stars, musicians, politicians, and business moguls. In this article, we look at a list of these popular men and women who are die-hard fans of the Yankees.

Jay-Z

Popular musician and rapper Jay-Z came to prominence in the '80s. Through hard work and creativity, he revolutionized the music industry and made a name for himself. Today, the New York star is a household name worldwide.

His enormous success notwithstanding, the singer still remembers his roots. He takes loyalty very seriously and attends the games of his favorite New York team, the Yankees. On many occasions, he wears the team's gear and cheers them with all his heart. Jay-Z has also gotten to know each player personally. Despite his very tight schedule, he still finds time to root for his beloved team.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is a popular American actor. He's appeared in many notable movies and strikes many people as easygoing. Most fans appreciate him because he could play any role thrown at him with equal success. Among his popular movies are Moneyball, Fury, and World War.

Brad's numerous success doesn't stop him from enjoying sports. He fell in love with the Yankees and often spares some time to enjoy their games. During such moments, he stands on the sidelines shouting and cheering the players with inexhaustible vigor. What a great way to spend time away from the cast and crew.

Tom Cruise

Acting legend, Tom Cruise, shows his support for the Yankees uniquely. While most fans love shouting, cheering, and making financial donations, Tom enjoys wearing Yankee gear whenever he gets the chance. For example, he wore a Yankee hat in the movie, The War of the Worlds and, by so doing, endorsed the team before a worldwide audience.

Well, we are not surprised at his generous show of support. Cruise was born in Syracuse, New York, and this suggests that the Yankees might have inspired him from childhood. Now a successful actor, Tom is not ashamed to call himself a die-hard fan.
