One of the Libyan rebels who captured and then killed Libyan ruler Muammar el-Qaddafi was seen wearing a Yankees hat in one of the disturbing videos of the event.

Meanwhile, The New York Times has reported on the unhappy local phenomenon in which any number of crime suspects have a Yankees cap as part of their garb.

Go Yankees!

It is no accident that these aren’t Mets hats (or Jets hats, for that matter)...

Kim Jong Ill Sr. pitched a perfect game against the ‘27 Yankees. No one on the Yankees hit the ball. 27 batters, 27 strike outs on 81 pitches. Kim hit 4 grand slams. Final score 16 to 0.

That little North Korean kid was probably lucky enough to be first in line when the Salvation Army clothes were distributed; the kid next door got a Montreal Expos hat.

Hopefully, by the time he’s grown up he’ll be free to come to New York and watch the Yankees in person. Or maybe even play for them.....who knows?

Is the guy behind the limp-wristed guy with the phallus in his mouth wearing a Yankees hat and a Mets shirt?

As opposed to the catcher clocking the guy in the neck brace? Or the fact that Rainman is in the picture?

On the Mets shirt, the one letter on the second line that's clearly visible is a "C". To the left of it is a straight line, which could be a "U".

I'd conclude that the shirt fully reads: "METS SUCK".
