ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The slumping New York Yankees were big losers off the field Tuesday when thieves hijacked a shipment of 47,000 caps scheduled to be given away this weekend at Yankee Stadium.
Team spokesman Rick Cerrone had no additional details regarding the robbery.
The Yankees have received about half the hats for the Cap Weekend giveaway Friday and Saturday against Oakland. Fans not receiving a cap will be given a voucher.
New York is playing a four-game series at Tampa Bay that concludes Thursday.
