Two baseball fans who were at Yankee Stadium to watch the New York Yankees take on the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night had conservative influencer Charlie Kirk top of mind.

The two men sitting near the field were seen showing their support for the late founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated on a Utah campus on Wednesday. One man wore a shirt that read "Charlie" and the other man wore a shirt that read "Kirk."

Fans who packed the ballpark were able to see President Donald Trump as well. Trump appeared at the stadium as part of the Yankees’ festivities around the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. Trump met with players before the game and told Aaron Judge he was a "fantastic player."

The shooting death of Kirk sent a ripple effect throughout the United States. Several sports figures weighed in on his assassination over the first 24 hours since it was announced that he had died. The Yankees offered a moment of silence before their game on Wednesday.

"Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk," the team said in a post on social media.
