BRONX, NY – Yankees fans got a surprise treat when Maggie Newsom, a 16-year-old from Galway, New York, brought back a forgotten gem from 2020 that’s got everyone buzzing again. During a quiet off day for the Yankees,

Maggie decided it was time to share something that had been lying dormant for too long—a TikTok video of Yankees rookie Austin Wells showing off his best dance moves. But this wasn’t your typical baseball content. Instead of showing off his swing,

Wells was grooving in an empty parking lot to the electronic track “Shooting Stars” by Bag Raiders. The vibe was pure joy and zero baseball.

The video was originally posted by Wells back in 2020, and while it might not have made waves then, Maggie felt it was a piece of internet gold that deserved a second chance at stardom. Inspired by her dad, a big fan of Wells’ on-field performances,

Maggie shared the clip on her X account, saying she just couldn’t believe this hadn’t already blown up. “I thought it was so funny and that there was no way this has not been found, so I posted it,” Maggie told The Daily News.

And boy, did it get found! The video, showing Wells with a beard and rocking a ripped shirt, took off like wildfire. Wells himself, when asked about the clip, didn’t shy away from the nostalgia. “I had moves back then,” he said, clearly enjoying the moment.

The story gets even better. By the time the Yankees were back on the field, Wells had embraced his viral fame in the most epic way possible. He made “Shooting Stars” his official walk-up song at Yankee Stadium, turning what could’ve been just another game into a moment to remember. Fans went wild as the first notes of the track played, linking the viral video to the live-action Wells.

In a world where sports and social media often collide, Maggie Newsom’s keen eye and sense of humor gave everyone a reason to smile—and reminded us that even our favorite athletes can break it down with the best of them.
