Johnny Damon is one of the best pure leadoff hitters in baseball and for years was the heart and soul of the Red Sox Nation. Thanks in large part to his 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 years. Now new chapters in Damon's career and in the storied Yankees-Red Sox rivalry are being written. Damon is a Yankee. Clean-shaven and with shorter hair, Damon bats leadoff for the Yanks and roams center field, home to such legends as DiMaggio, Mantle and Williams. Johnny Damon has hand signed this MLB baseball, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
