WWE superstars take part in Yankees batting practice
The Big Apple will be taken over by World Wrestling Entertainment this week, with the company hosting two major events - NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and SummerSlam - at Barclays Center in Brooklyn from Aug. 20-21.
As part of its promotion for the shows, WWE sent down several of its superstars to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday to join the Bronx Bombers for batting practice prior to their AL East showdown with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Big Show, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, Charlotte, Enzo Amore, and Big Cass were all in attendance.
