The N.Y. Yankees play the Cleveland Indians this weekend, but evidently a few road-tripped early to catch LeBron James lead his Cavaliers to a win in Game 5 of the NBA playoff series against Orlando Magic.

Sporting a family pass around his neck, Alex Rodriguez was not the only A-lister there. The baseballer grabbed some time to chat court side with hip hop mogul Jay-Z before the action began. Then, after the game, the hip hop mogul got another visit. This time LeBron James stopped by for a salute and high-five with his pal and collaborator.

Joining Rodriguez in the stands were teammates Mariano Rivera, CC Sabathia, Robinson Cano and Joba Chamberlain. Marv Albert reported that Yankees pitcher Sabathia, who used to play for Cleveland, even text messaged James he was going to wear a Magic hat as payback for when James wore his Yankees hat to a baseball game a couple years ago.
