Martha Stewart had herself a day at the ballpark.

The lifestyle maven, 81, took in the Yankees’ season opener on Thursday in the Bronx, where she swooned over captain Aaron Judge, who hit his first home run of the year during his first at-bat.

“No 99 just paid off a fraction of his massive contract,” Stewart gushed on Instagram. “Home run on first time at bat opening day!!! Handsome dude!!”

Judge, who signed a massive nine-year, $360 million deal in the offseason, launched the ball from San Francisco’s Logan Webb to center field in the bottom of the first in Thursday’s contest.

The reigning AL MVP is coming off of a historic season when he hit 62 homers, the most in a single year in the American League.

In response to her remark about Judge, Stewart’s fans quickly lit up the comments section of her Instagram post.

“Get him Martha!” one fan said.

Another commenter exclaimed, “Martha that’s a married man!!!”

Judge, 30, married his high school sweetheart, Samantha Bracksieck, in December 2021.

The longtime couple swapped vows in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii, where they were joined by family and friends.

Judge wasn’t the only member of the Yankees who got a social media shoutout from Stewart.

She also celebrated 21-year-old shortstop Anthony Volpe, who got the Opening Day start after a sensational showing in spring training.

“Anthony Boole, our new short stop, walks! And then he steals to second,” Stewart said of Volpe.

The Yankees led the Giants, 5-0, through eight innings.
