People are talking about how big a deal it is that Johnny Damon, supposedly a symbol of the Red Sox, is going to the Yankees. ESPN compares it to Larry Bird going to the Lakers.
Let's not lose our heads here: Damon played for only four years in Boston. Perspective, people.

Yeah, really, perspective. We knew two months ago that with so many free agents coming due the same year -- only one year after the WS championship so they're all highly desirable if not injured -- and with total indecision in the front office, we'd lose anyone who didn't agree to arbitration. No surprise here. And no surprise that if it comes to a bidding war, the Yankees win 5 out of 10 and love to rub it in our noses. Be prepared to see the Pawtucket 2005 team playing homegames at Fenway in 2006
