CC Sabathia wore a Brooklyn Dodgers hat on Saturday. Harmless, or traitorous?

CC Sabathia attended Game 7 of the Bulls-Nets playoff series in Brooklyn with his son Carsten III on Saturday night, and showed up repping the borough on his head. The way he did so raised a few eyebrows, though, as he was wearing a Dodgers cap -- and, as you might have heard, Sabathia pitches for the Yankees.

The caveat of course is that it was a Brooklyn Dodgers cap, and, in other news you might be aware of, the Dodgers no longer play in Brooklyn. Still, even though the team has played home games 2,800 miles away for more than half a century now, the sight of any MLB player wearing another team's cap (even a retro one) is bound to ruffle some feathers. It's also probably worth mentioning that Sabathia grew up in the Bay Area as a fan of the Dodgers' bitter rivals, the Giants.

Personally I'd say that if the Mets can build a stadium emulating Ebbets Field, Sabathia wearing a Brooklyn cap isn't a huge deal. A player wearing the cap of another contemporary team -- as Jordany Valdespin did in December -- seems far more inexcusable.

But that's just me. What do you think of Sabathia's choice in headwear?
