WATCH: Anthony Volpe lives his 'dream come true' moment as Yankees shortstop swaps jerseys with Knicks star Jalen Brunson

Yankees startling shortstop Anthony Volpe had a fan boy moment before the start of the Subway Series finale at Yankee Stadium. He swapped jerseys with New York Knicks star shooting guard Jalen Brunson on the sidelines as the Mets roster took BP.

Both stars exchanged their respective No. 11 jerseys. The New York Yankees' official Instagram handle shared a picture of the pre-game jersey swap.

Take a look at the amazing jersey swap here:

During 2024 spring training, Anthony Volpe was asked who was the one athlete with whom he would want to swap jerseys. And the shortstop replied, 'Jalen Brunson'. On Wednesday night, his dream came true as the NBA star was present to watch the Subway series finale inside the Bronx Bombers home stadium.

The Yankees had lost Game 1 on Tuesday night in a low-scoring affair by a scoreline of 3-2. This was their third consecutive defeat at the hands of their intra-city rivals in the current campaign.

The Yanks couldn't get their bats going during game 1, as Gleyber Torres and Alex Verdugo were the only hitters to drive in a run each. Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe managed to register two hits, but all went in vain.

Heading into the series finale on Wednesday night, the Yankees looked to avoid a second straight series sweep against the Mets this season.

Anthony Volpe and Co. faltered as the Mets routed the Yankees to claim another Subway series sweep

The Bronx Bombers came up short against the Mets once again as they failed to avoid a Subway series sweep at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night. Mets won the contest by an emphatic scoreline of 12-3.

Francisco Lindor was the man of the hour as he smashed two home runs and drove in five runs. Further, Pete Alonso, Mark Vientos, and Tyrone Taylor crushed one home run each.

Gerrit Cole started on the mound for the Yankees. The Mets offense attacked him from the onset for the second time this season. He ended up giving up six earned runs on eight hits while striking out just four in 5.2 innings.

Anthony Volpe went hitless in five at-bats, as the rest of the batters in the lineup also suffered against Sean Manaea and the rest of the NYM relief pitching. The Yanks are 60-44 for the season and will hit the road to play two three-game series against the Red Sox and the Phillies.
