A New York Yankees fan, Matthew Mitchell, is suing the Bronx Bombers, claiming he went to games and watched players who were “artificially enhanced.”
Fan Sues Yankees .. Not Happy With Attending Game To See Doped Up Players
The New York Yankees boast to be the team “Where Players Become Legends.”
Now, one die-hard fan is questioning the integrity of their catch phrase — in court.
Matthew Mitchell is suing the Yankees for $221 — the exact amount he paid for tickets to five of the games he attended between 2002 and 2007. His claim is filed under “failure to provide goods paid for.”
“I’ve been a fan forever, and now, there’s evidence — based on the Mitchell Report and common sense — it’s clear to me that what I was seeing was not a baseball game,” said Mitchell.

Oh No .. Not You Guys! Bronx Bombers Using Steroids?
The Yankees’ most recent championship teams, heralded by fans and sports writers as some of the most dominant squads in baseball history, were fueled by steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, according to the explosive, long-anticipated report released Thursday by former Sen.George Mitchell.
The Mitchell Report identifies Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte, two of the biggest pitchers in Bomber history, as steroid cheats, but Joe Torre’s aces weren’t the only Yankee players alleged to have used the juice: Mike Stanton, Chuck Knoblauch, David Justice, Kevin Brown, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield are also among the recent Yankees named in the report.
The 400-plus page report, the culmination of a 21-month investigation initiated by commissioner Bud Selig in March of 2006, includes MVPs, All-Stars and some of the biggest names in the game, including Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and Miguel Tejada, as well as a large number of scrubs and journeymen.
