My Take
Johnny Damon is exactly the kind of ballplayer I respect. Born in an army town in Kansas, he became a dependable leadoff man who got on base and made things happen for nearly two decades across the Royals, Red Sox, Yankees and more. His shaggy, bearded Idiots-era run that helped break Boston's curse in 2004 is permanently lodged in my memory, then he crossed enemy lines to win in pinstripes. Damon never carried himself like a superstar, yet winning teams always seemed to have him. That grinding, glamour-free consistency is, to me, more valuable than highlight-reel flash.
