Number Thirty-Six: Johnny Damon.


Short and sweet, because this one's not fun.

Johnny Damon turned out to be an actual idiot. The man said that he would never play for the Yankees but then he signed with the Yankees. And then proceeded to have the gall to be confused about his fall from grace. Idiot.

But he was integral to their success in 2004 (Javier Vazquez grimaces as Damon asks: 'Sup?). He was my centerfielder and I was a full-fledged member (without the T shirt) of the cult of Damon.

Maybe someone needs a left-fielder (really a DH) with a noodle arm and he comes back to Boston in a different uniform next year. I don't think he'd be applauded but maybe not boo'ed.
