Yes, Alex Rodriguez was in attendance for the inauguration of President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
He was there as Jennifer Lopez performed a terrific medley of This Land is Your Land and America the Beautiful, but it was before the ceremony at the Capitol that A-Rod was captured on camera hanging out near President Barack Obama.
According to the photo above, he got a chance to chat with Obama, and per his social media accounts, Rodriguez was excited to be there, of course.
And you know what’s next: there were lots of jokes made about the cameo on Twitter. Here’s a sampling, with the moment he was captured there first:
