Johnny has won two titles in his career with his first as a member of the Boston Red Sox during their infamous 2004 World Series title run.

It was their organizations first championship in over 80 years and marked an end to the curse of the Bambino that hung over their heads for so too long.

It stepped up the rivalry between the New York Yankees and brought Baseball back to America's favorite sport.

Now people make sure they also tune into every regular season game, now there is always a playoff atmosphere between the two teams.

His most recent title came last season with the New York Yankees finalizing his tenure for the top two teams in Baseball history.

At the age of 36 you are still getting a player who can run the bases better than most although his speed has lessened in recent years he still knows how to jet when he has to.

Johnny will add a lot to an already powerful lineup with the Tigers providing support to their main sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez.

J. Damon will probably never play another game for the New York Yankees but he will always be remembered for what he did in New York.

He may recieve the boos in Boston but the Yankee fans seem to never forget the names that get them to the promise land.

Expect to hear a loud ovation for him when he enters Yankee Stadium regardless of what uniform he is wearing.

Don't forget what this player has meant to the game, so he got greedy and upped his asking price to a point that was insane for the Yankees to match considering they have more depth than any team in the league.

You need to remember that on the field this man is a winner by all means and comes to play each and every day.

You may see him smile all the time but that don't mean that his dedication is not there you cannot get on someone who just enjoys life.

Johnny is one of those people that you can relate to off the field you always come across the happy go lucky guy and you wish you could be more like them.

Look for him to take his winning attitude to a team that could skyrocket in the standings for the 2010 season.
