Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a Bronx native, showed love for her hometown by dressing up in support of her home team on Thursday, when the New York Yankees played their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

It’s pretty obvious why the justice was giving the Yankees newbie so much love.

Sotomayor’s support bolstered fan morale after the team lost its previous two games to the Cleveland Indians.
Judge began his first full season on the team at a great pace. Fans were instantly drawn to the power hitter’s repeated home runs. The outfielder led the American League with 37 home runs, but had a batting average of .181 going into Thursday’s game.
In 2001, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave her now famous “wise Latina” speech, during which she reminded a group of University of California Berkeley law students that their personal experiences would enrich the legal system.
She then went on to remind grads that success is sweetest when shared with friends, colleagues and life partners.
In 2012, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor stopped by “Sesame Street," where she gave Abby Cadabby (and kids everywhere) some priceless career advice.
During an interview with Terry Gross of "Fresh Air" in 2014, Justice Sotomayor said she’s come up against her fair share of naysayers and doubters, though she’s never let them stop her.
In a 58-page dissent in the case of Schuette v. BAMN -- a contentious 2013 affirmative action case upholding a Michigan referendum banning affirmative action at public universities -- Justice Sotomayor made a case for why we cannot ignore the fact that race does matter.
In an early 1990s panel, Justice Sotomayor talked about being a "product of affirmative action."
During an interview with Oprah in 2013, she spoke about what she believes is the key to raising successful children.
In a powerful dissent to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Utah v. Strieff -- a case that took an expansive view of the limits the Constitution places on police misconduct -- Justice Sotomayor addressed the people most affected by unfortunate encounters with the police, black and brown Americans. “For generations, black and brown parents have given their children ‘the talk’ — instructing them never to run down the street; always keep your hands where they can be seen; do not even think of talking back to a stranger — all out of fear of how an officer with a gun will react to them,” Sotomayor wrote.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
