Apparently, that's not enough. Johnny Damon has to irritate Boston more. How so? Some background: In one of the most tense times for the Red Sox in decades, Red Sox DH David "Big Papi" Ortiz is annoyed--and rightfully so. He made a brief, vague comment, a couple weeks after the most horrible ending of a season ever, about how he would enjoy the possibility of playing for the Yankees. This five-word coment put the media in a frenzy. Well, who knows where Big Papi wants to play next year? I certainly don't. The Yankees don't. And as much as the media thinks they know anything and everything about professional athletes, they don't know either.
Apparently, however, Johnny Damon knows where Papi HIMSELF wants to go. At Papi's annual celebrity fundraising event, Damon was quoted as saying, "I was trying to tell him [Papi] that if he went to New York his 30 home runs turns into 40." (This is because of Yankee Stadium's short distance to its right field fence.) He elaborated in his words of absolute wisdom by saying that as cool as it would be for Papi to stay in Boston, sometimes it's better for players to go elsewhere because of less drama. SO YOU'RE TELLING ME, DAMON, THAT HE SHOULD THEREFORE GO TO YANKEE STADIUM, DRAMA CAPITAL OF THE BASEBALL WORLD?????? Fool. You are so dumb.
I wish Papi the best of luck, no matter what he decides to do. But Johhny Damon seriously needs to swallow his Yankee pride and mind his own business. The only person who truly knows what is right for David Ortiz is David Ortiz.
