Eight years ago today, Yankees left fielder Johnny Damon swung a scorching hot bat. It was perhaps hotter than any ticket to the old Yankee Stadium during that 2008 campaign, which would be the last season played in the House that Ruth Built.
Damon led off for the Bombers in the home half of the first with a double off of starting pitcher Brian Bannister, and never stopped. He then singled in the third. In the fourth, he tied the game with another single. In the sixth, well, you get the idea.
