Jeter and A-Rod: London Idols?

Maybe not...but the amount of people I see here with Yankees hats is unbelievable. It's something I hadn't originally noticed when I got here, but as I've been traveling and walking around London, I see at least a handful of people a day sporting their Bronx Bomber gear. It's definitely cool, as I'm a fan of the World Series champs myself :). But it's surprising because they don't even play baseball here. Oddly enough, I have yet to see a Phillies hat, or for that matter any other team's--these Londoners have some good taste! Who knows, maybe it's customary for any Brit who visits the US to come back with a baseball cap--sort of like a generic souvenir. It would be like roaming around New York and seeing people walk around with cricket team hats on--you just don't expect it! I'm not complaining though. Every time I look up and see that N-Y on someone's hat, it brings a little bit of the kind of warm, comforting feeling that only comes from home :)
