As a Yankee fan, I can’t agree with you more.
As a Red Sox fan, I(we) have always respected Jeter, Cano, Rivera, Mussina, Pettit, etc.
Even when Clemmons wore pinstripes, he was respected still in Boston.
The only individual players Red Sox fans hate are/were Arod and Johnny Damon. Arod because of before mentioned comments. Damon, because he said: “I will never where pinstripes.”
The Yankees are in trouble because they are now saddled with too many old players with big contracts. They need to clean house and start from fresh.
How about them Royals? They took 3 out of 4 from the Sox.
