Johnny Damon, Yankees reach agreement

I don't how I feel about this. I don't think I'll ever be able to accept Johnny Damon, who contributed so much in the Yankees big collapse two seasons ago and led the hated Red Sox to their first World Series win in 86 years as a Bronx Bomber. Its a little different than it was when Roger Clemens and Wade Boggs became Yankees after being Red Sox. Both of those players were on the outs with Boston (while Damon is still held in God-like status there) and all of the Boston teams they were on were losers who never matched the Yankees and never won anything. Hard to hate losers after all. But Damon is different, he was on the other side of the biggest choke (by the Yankees) in major league baseball history. I don't know if I can forget that.

Oh well...at least he says he'll abide with Yankee rules and keep his hair clean cut and the beard gone entirely. Less reminders of a season most Yankee fans like me would like to forget.
