    He’s covering all his bases.

    Mayor Eric Adams donned a baseball cap at the Columbus Day Parade Monday that sported the logos of both the New York Mets and Yankees – a fashion beanball to all of Gotham.

    “He should be indicted just for this,” one self-proclaimed “awful Yankee fan” tweeted .

    Hizzoner likely wore the cap in anticipation of a potential subway series between the Mets and Yankees.

    Indeed, the hat appears to be a throwback from the 2000 World Series between the rival teams, in which the Yankees swept the Mets 4-1.

    But Adams’ choice baffled baseball fans more than former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s allegiance to the Boston Red Sox.

    “Jail,” another MLB fan tweeted .

    Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) weighed in with a highfalutin strike against the embattled mayor.

    “I’m all for Carl Jung and the duality of man, but this is egregious,” he wrote on X , referring to the Swiss founder of analytic psychology.

    Adams’ controversial hat choice comes as the Mets battle the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The Mets lost Game 1 Sunday by a franchise-worst 9-0 .

    The Yankees face off Monday against the Cleveland Guardians for Game 1 in the American League Championship Series.

    Adams, beyond stoking baseball fans’ ire, faces historic bribery and corruption charges in Manhattan federal court.

    His ill-advised baseball garb recalled former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 2003 outfit at the Columbus Day Parade, in which the diminutive pol wore Yankees gear except for his socks, which were red.

    The suspiciously Red Sox-like socks caused a stir, even in the years before social media, but Bloomberg insisted they were meant to honor Italian heritage, The New York Times reported at the time.
