Nov 5 LF Johnny Damon said he hopes to return as a Yankee though he knows he may not be invited back, but he may have further alienated himself from Red Sox fans by adding that his time as in New York was "the greatest four years of my career." That obviously will not go over well in Boston, where Damon helped lead the Red Sox to their first championship in 86 years, back in 2004. Damon had a productive regular season and a strong postseason, much like teammate Hideki Matsui. At most one of the two is likely to return, and GM Brian Cashman deferred questions about their status until after the World Series celebration. Damon, 35, showed some of the vulnerability of his age as he left Game 6 with a right calf strain after scoring on a two-run single by Matsui. Yahoo! Sports


Nov 4 Damon left Wednesday's Game 6 before the start of the fourth inning with a calf strain.

Recommendation: He was replaced in left field by Jerry Hairston Jr. If the Yankees finish off the series against the Phillies on Wednesday night, it could mark the end of Damon's stint in the Bronx.

Nov 3 Damon had three hits and scored two runs Monday in an 8-6 loss to the Phillies in Game 5 of the World Series.

Advice: Damon is batting .381 in the World Series as he seeks his second title. He won in 2004 with Boston.
