The Yankees are not being singled out here. The Mitchell report names plenty of players who are not Yankees. I read the complete report, including all the annexes. It is fair on its face, and would be more comprehensive if players and teams actually cooperated (which they did not do). Two of the primary sources of info worked for the NY teams, so it stands to reason that the Yanks and Mets get mentioned, perhaps more than other teams, but I don't think any one team is being targeted. Some of the most interesting material in the report involves the Red Sox.

Bonds, McGwire, Palmiero, Sosa ... plenty of non-Yankees are in the spotlight. And some who were Yankees, like Clemens and Giambi, have usage tied to other teams.

I wish it was only a few players, and one or two teams, but unfortunately it's a league-wide issue.
