The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are facing off in the Bronx this weekend, and fans can come away with irregular merchandise.
New Era Caps created hats that split the numbers of Yankees star Aaron Judge and Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. And if that's not enough, fans can also purchase a dual bobblehead of Judge and Ohtani -- if they can get over the fact that the rival teams are sharing a space together.

The combination of merchandise between storied rivals seems to be a recent trend. On Friday, New York Mets/Philadelphia Phillies merchandise surfaced in London ahead of the MLB London series this weekend.
Judge batted .361 and hit 14 home runs in May. His 1.080 OPS heading into Friday leads Major League Baseball, while his 51 RBIs rank third. Ohtani has a .318 batting average plus 15 home runs and 40 RBIs.
The teams head into what has been deemed the "Battle in the Bronx" with two of the five best records in MLB. The series will conclude on Sunday Night Baseball (7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN).
