Mediocrity knows no borders....

It's sort of funny to see Yankees gear in the far reaches of the world. Especially a part of the world that hardly knows what baseball is. I guess the logo itself has reached a sort of "iconic" status by now. This poor fellow says that he, "hasn't had a good night's sleep since Steinbrenner failed to ink Chuck Knoblauch in 2001". You can tell. Not all fans are as die hard as he is though. The only reason the "NY" is one of the hottest American imports since Nirvana (which seemed to arrive here last month), is because 50 Cent dons one on the T-shirt that is worn by 80 percent of males ages 13-28 here. Yes, the G-Unit crew is represented to the fullest in Kalimpong.

Fear not Bostonians. I've spotted a few BoSox hats around town and in Darjeeling proving that "Cultural Imperialism" isn't as unethical as everyone thinks it is.
