Johnny Damon Played Quotations

I understand how the world works, how the fans work. They may have booed me, but they appreciated the way I played the game.

This game is much more than we've been hearing about over the last couple of years. Players do have passion for this game. Players do respect the game. Players are clean. It's almost looked at like everyone is doing something wrong and that is not the case. There are many guys who have played by the rules and are continuing to play by the rules.

I've been waiting for that moment to happen for a while. I'm just happy it's right around the corner. It's definitely a dream come true. Some of the best players who have ever played this game have roamed center field for the Yankees.

I felt like I had to salute the fans because they were always great to me here and I know now they're just booing the uniform. They appreciated everything I did and how I played the game. I'm just disappointed we didn't come out swinging the bats better.

I look at them as a power team. They played small ball when they needed to because they could.

I thought all the players did a good job representing the game. I think now people are going to appreciate how the game is played in other countries.
