Hollywood glamour met Major League Baseball drama at Yankee Stadium as the New York Yankees secured a stunning 4-3 walk-off win over the padres in extra innings on May 7, 2025. While the game itself delivered suspense and fireworks, it was actress Emma Stone who captivated fans in the stands, turning heads with her vintage padres bomber jacket and infectious team spirit.
Attending the game with her husband, comedian and director Dave McCary, Stone proudly showcased her allegiance to the padres. Both were dressed in coordinated padres gear, including matching bomber jackets and baseball caps, reinforcing their well-known fandom. Their enthusiastic appearance was even featured on the stadium’s Jumbotron, earning cheers—and a few playful jeers—from both padres and Yankees supporters.
Emma Stone’s stylish padres jacket, adorned with the team’s retro “SD” logo, quickly became a trending topic on social media. Fans praised her fashion-forward nod to the padres’ heritage, with many calling it a perfect blend of nostalgia and chic outerwear. The actress is no stranger to showing off her padres pride; she and McCary famously wore team gear at a Mets-padres game in 2022, where they received good-natured boos from Mets fans.
But while Stone drew attention in the stands, the drama on the field was equally compelling. Padres starter Dylan Cease was dominant through the first six innings, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh and silencing the Yankees’ lineup. That streak ended when Cody Bellinger launched a solo home run, breaking up the no-hit bid and putting the Yankees on the board. Shortly after, Cease exited the game with a forearm cramp, capping off an otherwise brilliant performance for the padres.
The padres took a 3-1 lead in the top of the eighth, appearing poised to close out the game. But the Yankees had other plans. In a pinch-hit appearance, Trent Grisham crushed a two-run homer to tie the game, sending the Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy and forcing extra innings.
In the bottom of the 10th, with Jasson Domínguez starting on second base as the automatic runner, Oswaldo Cabrera laid down a textbook sacrifice bunt to advance him to third. J.C. Escarra followed with a deep sacrifice fly to left field, allowing Domínguez to tag up and score the game-winning run against the padres.
The 4-3 victory improved the Yankees' record to 21-16 and showcased their grit and ability to rally under pressure. For the padres, it was a tough loss in a tightly contested matchup, but the spotlight remained bright—thanks in part to their most glamorous fan.
Whether dazzling fans in a padres bomber jacket or cheering from the stands, Emma Stone brought a touch of Hollywood sparkle to a night already filled with padres and baseball brilliance. The padres may have lost the game, but they won a cultural moment. As the padres continue their season, moments like this show how they’ve built a loyal following far beyond San Diego. The padres might be chasing wins, but they’ve already captured fans’ hearts.
