Yankee pride? I didn't see the show, but were these guys wearing NYYankee caps by any chance? There's a lot of that going around. . . Jo3sampl (talk) 04:47, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Even if they were, David Simon (the creator) is known for making double meanings, which made the Wire into a novel-like series instead of a Hollywood friendly one. For example, in Season 1, Preston "Bodie" Broadus, a young dealer for the Barksdales, was taught the game of chess, all the while being compared to a "pawn" in the organization led by the "king", Avon Barksdale. In Season 3 right before his death, he attacked diagonally against Chris Partlow and Snoop, who attacked like diagonally like bishops. His killer, Darius "O-Dog" Hill, came out of a building, turned left, and shot him point blank, similar to a knight's L-shaped movement. There is deep meaning in what Simon did here, which is why the series has been claimed as the best of all time. I highly doubt that it was just about the baseball team. If it was, Snoop would probably mention a player for the team, like Jeter or someone like that. The scene definitely showed Snoop's disdain with Northern drug dealers invading Southern territory, similar to carpetbaggers in the Civil War. It truly was a deep scene.Thehole103 (talk) 17:41, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
