My Top 5 Hated Yankee List

5. JORGE POSADA- Being only 29 years old, Posada was part of the core group of Yankees that regularly F'd up my Red Sox world as a child. According the greatest pitcher of all time (Pedro Martinez) during the 2003 Pedro/Zimmer confrontation Posada allegedly had some not so nice comments directed toward Pedro's mother. If Pedro doesn't like your big eared goofy looking face, I don't either.

4. PAUL O'NEILL- If you ask the New York media or the Yankee fan base most would tell you former Yankee Paul O'Neill was a fierce competitor that played with a passion rivaled by few. If you asked me (or many others outside New York) about Paul O'Neill I would tell you he came off like a whiney little bitch who I couldn't stand watching. I say screw Paul O'Neill.

3. WADE BOGGS- I was pretty pissed when former third baseman Wade Boggs first put on the Yankee pinstripes but the moment I watched Wade Boggs celebrate the 1996 Yankees Championship by riding around on that friggin horse I felt I was being mocked as a Red Sox fan. 2098 hits with .338 batting average with Boggs in a Red Sox uniform went right out the window and now mean absolutely nothing to me.

2. ALEX RODRIGUEZ- For the longest time Rodriguez was the New York Yankee that I found most hate worthy. There was the almost-trade that would have sent the Rangers short stop Alex Rodriguez to Boston for Manny Ramirez. This deal not only fell through because of the Baseball Players Union stepping in, Rodriguez then of course ends up with the frigging Yankees ( hindsight being what it is, we should all thank God A-Frod never found his way into a Red Sox uniform) . Then there was the infamous Bronson Arroyo glove slap in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS (that video is posted above for your viewing pleasure). It feels like year after year Rodriguez looks worse and worse in the eye of public opinion. A-Rod recently getting busted for PEDs again (after vehemently denying the allegations to anyone who would listen) coupled with how pathetic he looks makes me almost feel a tiny bit sorry former the former League MVP. So he got bumped to 2.

• 1. THE ROCKET ROGER CLEMENS- Even though Clemens didn't leave Boston to go to the Yankees directly, The Rocket still ended up in The Bronx helping the Yankees win 2 World Series Championships. Then in 2007 The Sox were actually trying to re-aquire the Rocket but he ultimately decided on going back to the Yankees. Later that same year in December of 2007 Clemens' legacy was about take a hit it would never recover from. Clemens was listed in the Mitchell Report with the report alleging he had used banned substances in 1998, 2000, and 2001. The Mitchell Report opened the pandoras box of the Roger Clemens steroid scandal which still affects the Rocket to this day. I enjoy every second of it.
