It's not like Chris Davis has come out of nowhere. He was always regarded as a power prospect, hitting 17 and 21 HRs in his first two seasons (with limited ABs) before struggling to find ABs in his next couple of years on a stacked Texas team. Arriving in Baltimore last year and getting his first full season of 400+ ABs he hit 33 HRs. Now he's 27, the typical breakout year for baseball players, and he's on a tear. I don't think anyone expected this big a year, but 40 HRs has always been within his ceiling. Baseball probably will always have a steroid cloud over it, but there's no more reason to suspect Davis than anyone else in the league.
The truth is Yankee fans are just miserable people.
