Summary
The Yankees tried to post a wholesome throwback… and may have accidentally created a rivalry controversy.
Evan and Tiki react to a Yankees social media post showing childhood photos of players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. The problem? Internet sleuths quickly noticed something strange about Stanton’s Little League photo. His hat looked edited and fans soon discovered why: the original image appears to show Stanton wearing a Mets hat, which the Yankees seemingly removed before posting.
So why edit it at all? The guys debate whether the Yankees were trying to avoid trolling from Mets fans, protect their brand, or if this was just unnecessary “little brother” behavior from baseball’s most powerful franchise.
The conversation spirals into classic Yankees-Mets rivalry stories, including a legendary George Steinbrenner urban legend involving Andy Pettitte, Little League hats, and the Mets that may or may not have actually happened.
Plus, they break down why something as small as a childhood photo can turn into a full-blown New York sports debate.
A simple throwback post… or the pettiest Yankees move ever?

| 0:00.0 | Now, are all the traitors present? Let's get started, shall we? From rags to riches. I'm so sick of this. Working like a dog and being treated worse. Yorkshire to New York. Poor climbers, you and me. A life dedicated to revenge. Let's make this an occasion to remember. A woman of substance on Channel 4 starts tonight at 9. So I've always respected the Yankees. |
| 0:21.7 | They are the big brother until proven otherwise. |
| 0:23.8 | But the crap they pulled yesterday needs to be called out. |
| 0:27.4 | And it is little brother stuff, I must admit. |
| 0:30.7 | For those that are not aware, the New York Yankees tweeted out these adorable pictures |
| 0:34.4 | of some of their current players as little leaguers. |
| 0:55.7 | The tweet was headlined, they grow up so fast. And the first picture is this beautiful picture of Aaron Judge. It looks exactly the same. I'll show you the picture of him, Teak, there he is. This is the back-to-back ALMVP. It looks exactly the same. Adorable little kid. The next picture is a problem, though. What? |
| 0:58.3 | The next picture is young Jean-Carlose Stanton. |
| 1:00.2 | He does look the same. |
| 1:04.1 | Looks exactly the same, but you could tell there's something off of that as hat. |
| 1:10.3 | Like his hat is pretty centered, and it's like they took the logo of the hat and they moved it. |
| 1:14.8 | And so obviously Twitter sleuths were able to uncover. |
| 1:16.3 | And find the actual hat. |
| 1:17.8 | And find the actual hat. |
| 1:23.2 | The New York Yankees removed the Mets logo from a Jean-Carloz thing. Oh, come on. |
| 1:25.0 | Come on. |
| 1:26.3 | Why was he wearing a Mets logo hat? |
| 1:28.5 | He was probably a Little League team. |
| 1:29.9 | I mean, that's the most innocent thing in the world. |
| 1:31.5 | Oh, so they just happened to be the Mets? Yeah. Oh, got it. Oh, yeah. I mean, a lot of Little League's all over the place. It's not like he was a fan. It's not like he grew up a Mets team. He grew up as a Dodger fan, and I think that's been well documented, being from Southern California. |
| 1:42.4 | It was his dream to play, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. |
| 1:44.0 | And by the way, that's normal. |
