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 New York Yankees, on the way to winning the 2004 World Series, the team's first Championship in 86 years. Now that Damon is in pinstripes and roaming center field, where DiMaggio, Mantle and Williams once played, new chapters in Damon's career and in the storied Yankees-Red Sox rivalry are being written.
