Johnny Damon is one of the best pure leadoff hitters in baseball and for several years he was the heart and soul of the Red Sox Nation, not to mention the team's top "idiot." Thanks in large part to Damon's energy, love of the game and clutch hits, Boston beat their dreaded rivals, the Yankees, on the way to winning the 2004 World Series, the team's first Championship in 86 very long years. And now new chapters in Damon's career and in the storied Yankees-Red Sox rivalry are about to be written. Damon is a Yankees player. Clean-shaven and with shorter hair, Damon will bat leadoff for the Yanks and roam centerfield, home to such legends as Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Bernie Williams. Johnny Damon has hand signed this NY Yankees home jersey, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
