Apparently, Johnny Damon is still an idiot. Or at least he may be in the eyes of Boston fans, after the retired Red Sox-turned-New York Yankees outfielder revealed who he’s rooting for Friday before Game 1 of the American League Division Series between his two former teams.
“New York’s my team,” Damon told TMZ Sports. “The Yankees, that’s who I want to win.”
“This rivalry, I mean it’s been 14 years since it happened,” Damon said, alluding to the Red Sox’ 3-0 comeback in the 2004 American League Championship Series, during which he played a central role, en route to their first World Series trophy since 1918.
