Trump’s lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a professed Yankees fan, was loudly booed at Yankee Stadium’s Memorial Day game in May when his 74th birthday was announced to the crowd.
The Yankees are one of Trump’s hometown teams and he has been vocal on Twitter when he thought the team was underperforming.
“The Yankees are absolutely terrible--- what happened to this team?” Trump had tweeted in 2012.
