CC Sabathia Wears Dodgers Hat to Game 7 of Bulls-Nets Playoff Series (Photo)

You may not know if if you were born after 1958, but the Dodgers and Yankees used to have one of the biggest rivalries in Major League Baseball. The rivalry still stands, even if the teams rarely play each other anymore, so it’s so perplexing why CC Sabathia would think it’s a good idea to wear a Dodgers hat to Game 7 of the Bulls-Nets playoff series — even if it is a Brooklyn...
