Johnny Damon was nothing but a positive force for the Yankees. He was great with the media, fans, and he played at a high level while fighting through many injuries. He may like to be called an “idiot” or whatever, but the guy was nothing but class for the organization.
Do you actually believe everything he just said at his Detroit Tigers press conference? I don’t, but that doesn’t mean I will turn my back on him and start hating. He was basically talking a bunch of bullshit to warm up to the Detroit fans. The guy was clutch, and was just recently praised for his double steal in the Fall Classic. Now, you’re going to forget everything he has done over the past few years over some silly statements he made?
In this case, it was more about his agent Scott Boras and how he’s always looking for the biggest contract. He made Damon out to be something he is not, and he brought him down the wrong path. It wound up biting him in the ass, as he didn’t get what he wanted. I have nothing but good things to say about the guy. Don’t forget that when he was on the air with Mike Francesa not too long ago, and he left the door wide open to returning to the Yankees some day. He also said that he had no hard feelings towards the organization. (more…)
