The New York Yankees' 6-foot-7 superstar Aaron Judge played a key role in the FIFA World Cup draw for the 2026 tournament that took place on Friday.
Except, well, the presenters did Judge a little dirty.
When each of the four selectors for the draw came out, a photo montage played on the screen behind them.
One of the photos they put up behind Judge was the crucial error he made against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series.
That played a massive part in a big inning for L.A. That wrapped up the Fall Classic.
A combined 15 CHAMPIONSHIPS between Wayne Gretzky, Shaquille O'Neal, Tom Brady and Aaron Judge.

Judge didn't seem to notice the oddity.
He was also only the second-tallest draw person out there, as Shaquille O'Neal soon walked out to the stage at 7-foot-2.
Judge was asked his thoughts on the tournament, and he shared his hope for the United States to perform well.
He also cracked a grin when saying he expected big things out of Argentina, the defending champion that will be hoping Lionel Messi takes part in the tournament.
