The Yankee Hybrid

Ben sent me an email…

I am sitting in one of my favorite cafes. The front is open to the street. All of sudden one of the cafes workers come up from the cellar. A typical city thing. He is wearing a baseball cap. I see it mostly from behind. It is black. It has a blue button and I see the brim peaking around the side and it is blue. And a very familiar blue. Then he turns around and surprise of surprises, a white Yankee NY. I said to myself, “Now that’s a hybrid. An awful hybrid.” I wish I had my phone. I left it home charging. I would have loved to send it to you. Oh well. Perhaps next time.

I suspect this photo is it. If you ever wondered what Jeff Steinbrenner would be like…

Now Mets fans I have an idea.

LET’S BUY THESE!

We have been told the Mets wear hybrids because they sell. Then let’s get the Yankees to wear them. If they don’t we’ll prove that (a) it’s possible to sell caps without wearing them or (b) the Yankees sigh have more uniform integrity. I guess the other scenario is that the Yankees start wearing these, which would be a hoot and a holler anyway.

BUY THE YANKEE HYBRIDS!
