Opening Day is upon us for the Yankees in The Bronx, while the regular season is coming to a close — with the excitement of the playoffs looming — in Manhattan for the Knicks.

You may have noticed a recent connection made between pinstriped history and the current Knicks squad, with trade-deadline acquisition Josh Hart donning a No. 32 pinstriped jersey before a game last week.

Hart was honoring his great-uncle, Yankees legend Elston Howard, the first Black player to play for the organization, in 1955, eight years after Jackie Robinson broke the MLB color barrier for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

“We just had the jersey made, kind of a sentimental piece for my family and myself. Now I gotta work on getting my dad one,” Hart told Sports+ earlier this week. “It’s something that’s very neat to me, and it’s a good story behind it. Being in New York now, where he played, it’s really special.”
