Interesting pieces of Damon press conference

Damon's father was very upset by Boston's initial offer to his son (they say the game is passed from father to son); Johnny grew up with Jason Varitek, who was probably the most upset at his leaving; the Yankees came on strong, and the Red Sox 'laid in the weeds;' John Henry said Johnny never came back and let us match the offer---Johnny said they did. Warner Wolf led off the questioning, asking Damon how he felt not having to face Mariano Rivera or Randy Johnson anymore. Damon said he was very happy about that, & mentioned that "MO IS THE GREATEST CLOSER OF ALL TIME." I know this would upset Dibs and Kevin Kennedy, who are on vacation. I'm thrilled to hear it, especially from a great hitter. Once in awhile, the truth does get out in front of skewed media opinions.
