Star athletes are in a giving mood prior to the New York Yankees' home game against the New York Mets on Wednesday.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe provided Yankees slugger Aaron Judge with a No. 99 Crimson Tide football jersey, and the outfielder have the signal-caller a bat in return.

Judge also gave signed cleats to New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson.

Brunson was clearly appreciative of Judge's gift and even said he had to send a pair of signed sneakers back to him.

Brunson also linked up with Yankees shortstop and reigning Gold Glove winner Anthony Volpe for a jersey swap.

Judge and Brunson are the sports kings of New York right now as the city's best and most popular athletes, and the two chatted it up before the game as well.

Judge, a six-time All-Star, is enjoying another dominant season with an MLB-high 35 home runs, 89 RBI and 1.114 OPS. He and fellow slugger Juan Soto have carried the Yankees offense as the team sits second in the AL East with a 60-43 record.

Brunson just averaged a career-high 28.7 points and 6.7 assists for the 50-win Knicks, and he just took a major hometown discount to help keep the team together as New York searches for its first NBA title since 1972-73.
