LeBron James framed his return to the Cavaliers around his devotion to Northeast Ohio.
So, LeBron has publicly aligned himself with Cleveland’s baseball team.
But with the Indians set to begin a playoff series against the New York Yankees, the Yankees sent a reminder:

In 2007, during his first stint with the Cavs, LeBron infamously wore a Yankees hat to a Yankees-Indians playoff game in Cleveland.
He seems to still be a Yankees fan, but I don’t expect him to be as overt in his rooting interest this time around. It’d work against his branding.
But the Yankees clearly aren’t letting LeBron’s fandom go understated.
