Are Yankee Titles Tainted?



The question in the headline is being asked by the New York Post and others today in light of the Mitchell Report. From Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte to Glenallen Hill and Denny Neagle, Yankees of all different pinstripes have been accused of using performance enhancing drugs during the team's long run on top of the American League East and the rest of baseball. Is that tainted now that they've been painted with the steroid brush?

Re: Are Yankee Titles Tainted?

let's see how many hypocrites we have here ....... 90% of you should be voting yes ...... as GDK said ... if the Pats titles and this season are tainted then so are the Yankees

it's that plain and simple

i however have the luxury of a broader view .... i am one of the only that tried to convince everyone that the Pats (and now the Yankees) are no worse then anyone else

wouldnt surprise me any if Manny, Ortiz, Schilling and others were on roids last season ...... making them no better then the WS winning Yankees

but hey ....... so many of you had your fun bashing the Pats .... lets see you now bash the Yankees in the same manner

Good lord man, Manny didn't do HGH. He can hardly make it to an edge of the playing field.

This whole poll is tainted. It should be asking "Is MLB tainted??" Why just the Yankees and their records ?

Re: Are Yankee Titles Tainted?

No, the Yankees titles are not tainted. Why you ask?

Because they did not have a competitive advantage on the rest of the league. Everyone was equally guilty.

Re: Are Yankee Titles Tainted?

The fact that the major witnesses were from New York put the Yankees under the spotlight. It does taint their titles if the allegations are true, but let's not be naive that every single title team during the steroid era didn't get a major contribution from someone who was using.
