New Yorkers react strongly to Mayor Adams' attempt at neutrality with a controversial baseball cap at the Columbus Day Parade.

Mayor Eric Adams wore a unique hat featuring both Mets and Yankees logos at the Columbus Day Parade, sparking backlash from New Yorkers.
Adams' hat was seen as an attempt to remain neutral amidst the ongoing MLB playoffs, where both teams are competing in their respective league championships.
Social media users criticized the mayor, with some linking the hat choice to his ongoing campaign corruption case.
The hat, reminiscent of the 2000 World Series between the Mets and Yankees, was not well-received, with many fans expressing disdain for his attempt to appease both sides.
