Considering you can buy a bootleg Yankees cap on the streets of Marakesh, their global brand dominance is not to be questioned. Which other sports franchise has comic book and tv characters wearing their logo. In fact, the Yankees uniform has all but become the generic attire for baseball, and their cap is the Vanilla of American casual headgear. With the exception of perhaps Manchester United during David Beckham, there is no widelier-known team in the world. But yes, fans in Pittsburgh are fanatical. As they are in Philly, Cleveland, Chicago, and everywhere in between. I call BS on this one — any poll that doesn’t have the Yankees on the top is phony.
