Aaron Hicks didn’t really know — and said he didn’t even think about — what his Yankee Stadium greeting would be.

Despite all the boos from his eight years in The Bronx, especially near the end of a tenure that concluded when he was designated for assignment last month, Hicks thought that maybe he’d be treated just like any other visiting opponent.

“They’re normally pretty tough on visiting players,” Hicks said Monday about Yankees fans. “I’m not really worried about that too much. I’m just here to pretty much go about my day and try to do everything possible to help my team win.”

But when the game started, and Hicks took his spot in left field — the same left-field spot that featured one of his lowest Yankees moments, when he didn’t know a dropped ball was fair and allowed two runs to score last September — and stepped into the batter’s box, it turned out that not much had changed.

He was booed during pregame introductions, booed again during his first at-bat, booed again during a tribute video in the second inning and booed during each of his three other at-bats in the Orioles’ 6-3 loss to the Yankees.

“I mean, it’s kinda just what I expected,” Hicks told The Post postgame. “I grinded eight years with the team. Had some great moments over there. And kinda how things were going this year and come back and kinda get booed again, kinda just what I expected.”

Hicks’ career has been revitalized since signing with the Orioles less than two weeks after his Yankees release. He’s hit .262 with a .838 OPS in 27 games, plugging an open outfield spot when Cedric Mullins was injured and then playing so well that manager Brandon Hyde couldn’t remove him from the lineup.

“I just think that opportunities and injuries and stuff like that kinda happened, and I kinda went down a struggling road in which I really couldn’t get myself out of it,” Hicks said. “I feel like when I started to have kinda success, I wasn’t really given an opportunity, and now that I’m over here, I’m getting a lot of opportunities and I’ve been trying to make the most of it.”

The first part of Hicks’ return Monday went smoothly before the booing began, though.

He chatted with catcher Jose Trevino and outfielder Willie Calhoun, among other former teammates, during batting practice, wearing orange socks, cleats, batting gloves and a new beard.

Hicks also said that he texted Aaron Judge after he crashed into the wall and injured his toe last month at Dodger Stadium.

Even Hyde didn’t know what to expect with Hicks when he arrived. He wanted to make sure that the communication between the pair was open — leading to plenty of office conversations.

“We don’t have a ton of older veteran presence in our lineup, so I was hoping that he could come here and just kinda play easy and play like he has nothing to lose,” Hyde said. “And he did that.”

Hyde approaches his communication with veteran players knowing that “everybody has a different story,” he said.

For Hicks, that now includes the inevitable Yankee Stadium return.

When asked after the game if he learned anything about playing in this environment as an ex-Yankee, with boos following any and every contribution, Hicks kept his answer short.

“I’ve already played in this environment,” he told The Post.

The booing wasn’t anything new.
