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

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