It was a bit of a role reversal for Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Usually the main attraction performing in front of fans, Miranda was in the audience on Sunday to watch another talented Miranda — his cousin Jose Miranda, an infielder for the Minnesota Twins.
The famous playwright and actor, who is best known for creating and starring in the record-breaking Broadway hit “Hamilton,” was at Yankee Stadium watching the Bombers’ 2-0 win over the Twins.
The YES broadcast showed Lin-Manuel in the crowd, sitting in what appeared to be club seats.
When he realized he was being shown on the broadcast, looking at a TV screen near his seat, Lin-Manuel raised his arm and clapped before giving a salute.
Lin-Manuel was donning a grey t-shirt with a mustard-yellow baseball hat.
ESPN’s Marly Rivera tweeted a picture of the two Mirandas on the field together before the game.
The 24-year-old infielder entered play Sunday owning a .237/.297/.271 slash line with a .568 OPS.
Jose Miranda had been hot beforehand, however, recording a .417/.417/.583 slash line with a 1.000 OPS and 3 RBIs in the first three games of the four-game set.
Perhaps his famous cousin was a bad luck charm.
Jose Miranda broke into the majors last year and enjoyed a strong rookie season.
He recorded a .268/.325/.426 slash line with a .751 OPS and 115 OPS-Plus, along with 15 home runs and 66 RBIs in 125 games with the Twins a season ago.
When Jose Miranda was called up to Minnesota’s major league roster last May, Lin-Manuel celebrated on Twitter.
“I got a cousin in the Major Leagues! Felicidades Primo [Congratulations Cousin]! All the Mirandas are cheering,” Lin-Manuel posted at the time.
The Twins drafted Jose Miranda in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of Leadership Christian Academy in Puerto Rico.
Other than “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel also garnered acclaim for “In the Heights,” a play that focused on Washington Heights.
“In the Heights” was also recently adapted into a movie.
Lin-Manuel also wrote the soundtracks for the films “Moana” and “Encanto.”
In total, Lin-Manuel currently has three Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards and five Grammy awards.
