Aaron Judge may be rewriting the record books in 2025, but not everyone at Yankee Stadium was rooting for him Wednesday night.
Actress Emma Stone, a devoted San Diego Padres fan, made her allegiance loud and clear during the series finale in the Bronx. Sitting in the front row behind home plate with her husband, director Dave McCary, Stone was into the matchup between her Padres and Judge’s Yankees.

And when Padres ace Dylan Cease struck out Judge, Stone was just a regular baseball fan.
Stone leapt to her feet and clapped with the energy of someone who truly lives and dies with her team. The Oscar-winning star of “La La Land” and “Poor Things” bounced in celebration after the strikeout, hollering to Cease.
It was a moment that stood out partly because of the celebrity cameo. While she's a common sight at Petco Park in San Diego, Stone doesn't frequent celebrity row in the Bronx. Though she memorably got a rude reception in Queens during the playoffs a few years ago.
But it was also notable because it came against one of the biggest, most beloved names in baseball.
Judge has been on a historic run to open the 2025 season. He entered Wednesday night with a .412 batting average, 12 home runs, and a league-best OPS. He’s crushing pitches and anchoring a Yankees lineup that’s off to one of its best starts in years.
But on that pitch, in that moment, Cease and the Padres won the battle.
And Stone, who was decked out in a retro brown-and-gold Padres bomber jacket, a Padres baseball cap and sunglasses, made sure the crowd knew it.
The Yankees won in extra innings, but for Padres fans and Stone, that strikeout of Aaron Judge was a big moment.
