Brett Lawrie in a Yankees Cap?

Found February 17, 2012 on Hall of Very Good: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brett Lawrie
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays,  New York Yankees

I think Dustin Parkes over at The Score summed it up best..."a new national nightmare has been realized in Canada."That's right...Toronto Blue Jays sensation (and Canadian product) Brett Lawrie has been photographed wearing a New York Yankees cap.Sure, sure, the thirdbaseman was a kid at the time, but, still...if I'm a Jays fan, I'm hoping my team holds on to the guy as long as they can.Oh well, at least Lawrie in a Yankees cap is better than the alternative. Or is it?
