Social media is in stitches over a hilarious New York Yankees hat that’s absolutely perfect for any bandwagon fan following the 2024 World Series.
The New York Yankees kept their season alive with an 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night to avoid a humiliating sweep. Game 5 goes at 8:05 p.m. EST in the Bronx tonight.
There’s no official data to count, but it’s safe to say that the Yankees and Dodgers have more bandwagon fans than any other MLB franchise. Such is life when you’re a) both big-market teams, b) among the top World Series contenders every year and c) home to big-named superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge.
So, what if you’re a shameless bandwagon fan who likes both the Dodgers and Yankees? We present to you a brilliant million-dollar idea by Instagram user @lanewinfield:

The Yankees were virtually punchless at the plate in Games 1-3 before their 11-run outburst on Tuesday night. Overcoming a 3-0 deficit against the Dodgers is a daunting task, but it’s a brand new ball game if they can squeeze out one more win at Yankee Stadium tonight.
New York Yankees Can Take Inspiration From 2004 Boston Red Sox
If the Yankees need inspiration, they needn’t look further than the 2004 Boston Red Sox. 20 years ago, Boston erased a 3-0 series deficit against the Yankees in the ALCS en route to their first World Series title in 86 years.
The ’04 Red Sox are the only MLB team to come back from 3-0 down in a series. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was a member of that Red Sox team, so he knows what it’s like to be on the right end of history.
