New York Yankees caps everywhere, are they this popular here?

I have been seeing more and more young boys , from late tens to early twenties putting on the same exact NYY caps around the town

I mean this one

Extra points if paired with baggy black pants and white tshirt

I wonder if among all the mlb teams , is there a reason why NYY is that popular?

Japanese player?No?

I rarely see any Dodgers or Otani hats but NYY everywhere

Are these people all NYY fans for a specific reason?

or…is it somehow related to cultural phenomenom ヤンキー？

Thanks
