Johnny Damon calls New York Yankees ‘trophy wife,’ Red Sox ‘ex-girlfriend’

Johnny Damon fondly remembers his days with the Boston Red Sox, but he has a truly special place in his heart for the New York Yankees. It’s the kind of spot where a divorcee keeps lingering emotions for his ex-wife barely tucked away.

Damon made that exact relationship analogy in an interview on the “Break a Bat” podcast, as reported by the New York Post’s Justin Tasch:

“I tell people Boston is like an ex-girlfriend where you wish them well and you loved being a part of it, but you know what, you move on, your life gets great, you marry your trophy wife and you have six more kids.
