Answer 1

I don't know why people are making a big fuss about the Yankees. If you look at the list there were more people on the Oriorles team then the Yankees and nobody talks aobut them. Tejada, Roberts, Gibbons, Bigbie, Segui, Palmiero, Grimsley there are more but I can't think of them off hand. Far more people then were on the Yankees.

Answer 2

Yankee fans feel picked on because Mitchell works for the Red Sox. It has nothing to do with that, what it has to do with is an ex-trainer for the yankees gave all that information up to Mitchell so why not blame the snitch instead of the investigator? Yankees fans will continue to blame everyone but their team. Clemens won't even be back for next year. The only active player was Pettite.

Answer 3

Since the Yankees sign the biggest names they're going to have the big name users.

But as a Yankees fan it doesn't bother me. The heart of the Yankees; Jeter, Rivera, Posada, Williams, O'Neal, and pre-Clemens Pettitte from the great '90's teams were not on that list.

Answer 4

because a lot of people here are yankee fans, they associate the players whom have played for many teams as Yankees.

When Roger Clemens was named, who do they associate him with? The Jays, whom it would seem he started the steroids with, the Red Sox? No, to people he is a Yankee.

It's just that Yankee fans see all these players only as Yankees, not as other players. It's just homer blindness.

Answer 5

I saw the list, and there seemed to be more Yankees on the list than most other teams. Also, the "steroid era" is when the Yankees won all those AL crowns and World Series... with players who were on steroids.
