The New York Yankees are spicing up their 2025 season with a fun twist, and it's all about Jaws. Starting June 20, they're celebrating the film's 50th anniversary with a quirky promotion during their series against the Baltimore Orioles-a themed milkshake and a commemorative cup that's got fans talking. It's a head-scratcher at first, but it's bringing a splash of excitement to Yankee Stadium. Who knew a shark movie could team up with baseball?

Jaws, released on June 20, 1975, and directed by Steven Spielberg, is the stuff of legend. This tale of a great white shark terrorizing a seaside town became the first blockbuster, raking in over $470 million with its innovative effects and massive release strategy.

That iconic USS Indianapolis scene narrated by Quint still gives chills, and its impact on Hollywood-pushing big-budget, wide-release films-set the stage for modern blockbusters.

Now, 50 years later, the Yankees are jumping in with a milkshake made of vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce, whipped cream, blue gummy sharks, and Life Savers Gummies, available at Sections 112, 125, and 324, along with a reusable cup to mark the occasion.

Jaws meets baseball: Yankees' 50th anniversary secret revealed

The tie-in with the Yankees isn't exactly clear-no shark pitched for the team back then-but it's a nostalgic nod that's got people curious. The new source highlights how this weekend event ties into the anniversary, offering fans a chance to grab these items while cheering on the team. Social media's buzzing, with some fans joking about the gummy sharks adding a bite, while others just enjoy the oddball vibe. The original article wonders if it's just a fun gimmick to tap into Jaws' universal appeal, and it seems to be working.

It's a bold move that adds a unique flavor to the season. The Yankees are blending baseball with a classic film, and as long as the milkshake keeps flowing, fans will have something new to sip on. The cup, paired with the treat, makes it a keepsake worth grabbing. Will it be a home run or a swing and a miss? Only the weekend will tell, but this Jaws tribute has everyone at Yankee Stadium wondering what other surprises might surface.
