"He was an offensive force. He was a clubhouse leader. He was a bit of a cult figure who was enormously popular with the women of Red Sox nation and generally a good guy," Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said. "We urged Johnny that Boston is a great place for him, that he was a beloved figure here. But in the end, he was free to make his decision."
Just face it....most of Red Sox Nation is in denial. I heard a quote today that Damon's father said that letting his son go was going to be the biggest blunder by the Red Sox since they let Babe Ruth get away. OK, come on.... I would exaggerate about my son too but I will just settle for another World Championship with Damon. Then Damon would be one of the few players who won a WS with both the Yankees and Red Sox. After all, not many players have gotten a chance to do that since 1918.
