Donning a customized New York Yankees hat adorned with the franchise’s 27 World Series titles — and the phrase, “a Spike Lee joint designed by Spike Lee,” embossed on the interior — Hollywood juggernaut Spike Lee intently watched his Bronx Bombers get loose during batting practice ahead of Game 2 of the ALDS Saturday night.
With his eyes, behind bright blue-brimmed glasses, focused on the swing of his favorite player, 6-foot-7 center fielder Aaron Judge, the outspoken New Yorker didn’t draw much attention to himself. Lee stood quietly, arms crossed, to the left of the Red Sox dugout — which, despite being in enemy territory, is a familiar post for the diehard Yankee fan.
