An old man with a package is walking up the hill. (This is the hill that makes Brooklyn Heights heights.) A perhaps-young woman with her foot in a cast is walking down the hill toward the overpass that connects two parts of the Jehovah's Witnesses buildings. In the background: the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge.

Whoever walks through Brooklyn town.
Brooklyn town is a second womb.
Never, ever trust in cheap imports from Taiwan. Buy American Yankee fans.
“All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.” John Cheever "Also, it helps to be gay since you look so delicious in that little red cap."
During the 1920s New York Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert once described his perfect afternoon at Yankee Stadium. 'It's when the Yankees score eight runs in the first inning,' Ruppert said, 'and then slowly pull away.'" - Peter Golenbock in Dynasty: The New York Yankees (1975)
Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." - Columnist Mike Royko
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son." - Ernest Hemingway in The Old Man and the Sea (1952)
"The more self-centered and egotistical a guy is, the better ballplayer he's going to be. You take a team with twenty-five assholes and I'll show you a pennant. I'll show you the New York Yankees." - Pitcher Bill 'Spaceman' Lee
To me, he's the greatest modern day weapon I have seen or played against. He has been the heart and soul of the New York Yankees dynasty." - Alex Rodriguez on YES Network (May 28, 2004 post game interview)
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."

"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can."
Babe Ruth

Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants, too.
Maybe because of all the mob movies I've seen set in Brooklyn everyone in a Brooklyn photo looks like a contract killer. The man with flowers looks like he is carrying a gun in the flowers. The cast on the woman's foot looks like it can be turned into a throwing star.
What you are looking at is a Chinese woman going downhill who is showing her ass, exactly what happened in the Yankee game last night.
Wang a wanton? Say it ain't so, Joe.
