-People say, you know, I kind of look like him,
but, you know, I... -A little bit.
-A little bit? -I can see it.
-You can see it? -Yeah. Freckles.
-The freckles, the gap, yeah.
-If you put the Yankee hat on.
-Put the hat on?
-What do you think? -You kind of look like him.
-Yeah?
-You -- Oh, that's crazy.

-We decided to have a little fun with him.
We put him behind an NBC Sports desk
in Bryant Park here in New York City.
We gave him a pair of Clark Kent glasses,
and we asked him...
We had him ask Yankee fans about Aaron Judge.
[ Laughter ]
So a lot of them had no idea they were talking
to the actual Aaron Judge.
It was really fun. Take a look at this.
-I'm Aaron Judge, outfielder for the New York Yankees,
and I'm here in Bryant Park to see what Yankee fans
think about Aaron Judge.
[ Clears throat ]
Lifelong Yankee fan. Your name, again, was...
-Mike. -Mike. Big money Mike.
Favorite player so far this year -- who do you got?
-Probably Brett Gardner. -Brett Gardner.
-Yeah. -Gardy.
-Ellsbury. I like Ellsbury. -Ellsbury.
-Ellsbury.
-Aaron Judge is tremendous to watch.
-Yeah. So far, he's...
I think he has about 13 home runs.
-Yeah.
-What do you think he'll finish with?
-40. -40?
-Yeah. He can't keep up this pace, I don't think.
I mean... -I think he can, though.
I think -- -If he goes to 60, great.
-Yeah, 60. Why not 70?
-Oh, I think Judge is going to be a star.
-He's a pretty big dude. -Yeah.
-You know, how much do you think he benches?
-Maybe 350, 400.
-400? -Yeah.
-You're right. -Yeah.
-Who's your favorite player right now?
-Adam Judge. -By far. He's a beast.
-A beast? -Yeah, he's --
-A beast, man. -He's amazing.
-So you think he's the real deal, then.
He's only been up here for about a month, month and a half.
-I mean, I hope so. I don't want to jinx it.
-Got a picture right there. -Yeah, he's --
I think he's going to be a superstar.
-People say, you know, I kind of look like him,
but, you know, I... -A little bit.
-A little bit? -I can see it.
-You can see it? -Yeah. Freckles.
-The freckles, the gap, yeah.
-If you put the Yankee hat on.
-Put the hat on?
-What do you think? -You kind of look like him.
-Yeah?
-You -- Oh, that's crazy.
[ Laughter ] -I didn't even notice.
That's insane.
Definitely with a uniform on.
-Oh, man.
What do you think about a guy like Aaron Judge?
What do you...
The real deal or what?
-He's -- Yeah. He's good. He's had a...
The month of April was his.
-He's on the cover of the next "Sports Illustrated."
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Pretty cool, huh?
[ Laughter ]
I had a feeling, man.
I had a feeling, man. Come on. -[ Laughs ]
-[ Laughs ] Judge.
-How you doing? -You're the man, bro.
I had a feeling, man. I knew it. -Yeah, it always --
It gives it away.
-You're the future, man. We love you here, man.
-What do you think so far of the year?
-I think some of the young players
that they have now have gotten people, perhaps,
that weren't as excited about them before really into it,
like Aaron Judge.
Love him. He's...
-Love him? -...exciting.
-So if Aaron Judge were sitting here right now,
what kind of advice would you give him?
You know, young guy on a young team in New York City,
what kind of advice would you give him?
-I probably would just say,
"Be yourself because it seems to be working so far."
-Be myself. You say you love him.
-I really do.
-People say we look alike, but I...
-You know, honestly, I...
-You see it a little bit? -I really do.
Well, maybe it's the glasses and the haircut on you,
but he's got the Yankee hat, so...
-I'm Aaron Judge by the way. Yeah.
-Oh, my God!
Oh! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
My husband is never going to believe this, never.
I think I'm going to cry. -A little selfie.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
-We sent Robinson Canó out to the streets of New York
to get booed by actual Yankee fans,
but here is the catch --
The fans thought they were just booing a cardboard cutout
of Robinson Canó.
They didn't realize that the real Robinson Canó
was standing right behind it.
Their reactions are pretty great.
Check it out.
-Hi. I'm Robinson Canó,
and I'm about to get boo by some Yankees fan.
-Are you a Yankee fan? -Yes.
-Now, Robinson Canó is coming back to Yankee Stadium
tomorrow night for the first time
since becoming a Seattle Mariner.
Are you going to boo him?
-Of course. -All right.
Well, we have this picture of him right behind you,
so whenever you're ready, go ahead and boo
it as much as you want.
-Boo!
You know what? You're no longer welcome here.
Bye. -Try it again.
-You're no longer...
My dude. -How you doing?
-Robinson Canó is coming back to Yankee Stadium
tomorrow night for the first time
since becoming a Seattle Mariner.
Are you going to boo him?
-I am going to boo the [bleep] out of him.
-[ Chuckling ] All right. Well, whenever you're ready,
go ahead and give him your best boo.
-Boo! You suck!
That was it. -That was awesome.
Maybe try it again. -Should I try it again?
[ Laughs ]
How you doing, Robbie? Welcome back to New York.
Good to be back, right? -Yes, sir, kind of.
-[ Laughing ] Sort of.
-Are you going to boo him?
-You know, he won a World Series ring here,
but he did leave for the money, so...
-Why don't you go ahead and give him as many boos as you want?
-Come on, Robinson.
I mean, how many World Series titles do the Mariners have?
Come on! Boo! You're better than that!
You got a beard now.
You're better than that.
Boo!
Ooh.
How are you? -Good. How you doing?
-Pleasure to meet you. -Thanks for the boo, anyways.
-Yeah, man. Welcome back to New York.
-Thank you.
-Whenever you're ready, go ahead and boo.
-Boo!
You should go home! Boo!
-Try booing him one more time. -Oh.
-Sorry, man.
-Are you going to boo him? -Yes, I am.
Boo! -All right.
Well, we actually have this picture of him right behind you,
so whenever you're ready, go ahead and boo him
as much as you want.
-Boo, Robinson! You should have stayed here!
Winners is in New York, not in Seattle!
-Try booing him one more time. -Boo!
Stay in Seattle. We don't need you in New York.
Hey! How are you? -Good. How you doing?
-I'm good. How are you? -I'm doing good.
-Go ahead and boo him as much as you want.
-Boo! Boo!
Whoa!
-How you doing? Thanks for the boo.
-No problem.
I won't boo you.
I won't actually boo you.
I'll be rooting for you to, I don't know,
play well but not win. -[ Laughs ]
-Are you going to boo him. -Absolutely.
-All right. Well, whenever you're ready,
go ahead and boo him for as long as you want.
-Right here? -Yep.
-Boo!
Boo!
Boo! Come on, everybody. Boo!
-Actually, try one more.
-One more? -Yeah.
-Oh, [bleep]
-How you doing?
-Oh!
Listen, about that, right, here's what happened...
[ Laughter ]
That's weird.
Only in New York. Only in New York, I swear.
