Le 18 janvier In 2004, the Red Sox had an incredible season and were finally able to break “the Curse” and win the World Series. At the heart of that team was Johnny Damon, encouraging us all to just be ourselves and come together. Red Sox Nation loved him.
Soon thereafter, Johnny Damon broke all of our hearts and did the unthinkable – he signed with the New York Yankees. I don’t know about you, but to this day I hold a grudge against that now well-shaven man.
Well, what do you do with your Red Sox shirt with Johnny Damon’s name and number on it? You could a) choose to burn it, or b) give it away. But where does that shirt go? Surely no New Englander in his right mind would buy it.
Eventually, like all of our other unwanted clothing, it makes its way to Africa. So walking along the street in Gisenyi you could see a Red Sox fan. Well, at least a person wearing the jersey. I always take a look to see who’s on the back. Often, it will be a “Damon” tee. I laugh to myself, as no one I’m with could possibly see the humor in this, and keep on walking.
