SUBWAY LINE: ESPN N.Y.'s Andrew Marchand noted the Yankees last night at Yankee Stadium "wore white-brimmed caps because of the deal they have with the manufacturer New Era." The team will "be sporting gray-brimmed hats" tomorrow at Citi Field (ESPNNY.com, 5/12).

STUCK ON YOU: In Miami, Joey Flechas notes Panini's FIFA World Cup stickers "are like North American baseball cards but without the statistics" to soccer fans.
