Disparate Yankees

He's a young native, likely in his mid-teens. He has no eyebrows; I'm not sure how that happened. Dressed in black from head to toe, he stands near the middle of the bus when there is ample room to sit.

On his head is a black New York Yankees ball cap.

He's a white man in his 50's - a grey-haired, grizzled, scruffy blue collar worker. His blue jeans are dirty from a hard day's work. He's wearing a red hoody, a blue jacket and blue backpack.

On his head is a black New York Yankees ball cap.

Two completely different individuals in lifestyle and dress, and yet they both like the Yankees.

At least, I think that's what it means when you wear that cap.

There's my stop.
