Frases de Johnny Damon

Johnny David Damon é um ex-jogador americano de beisebol. Era campista central.



Damon estreou na Major League Baseball em 1995 pelos Kansas City Royals, onde permaneceu até 2000. Foi para os Oakland Athletics via troca em 2001. Em 2002, chegou aos Boston Red Sox, onde passou as melhores temporadas de sua carreira. Consagrou-se na equipe em 2004, quando bateu .304 com 20 home runs e 94 RBIs, sendo um dos jogadores mais importantes na campanha do título da Série Mundial. Mas, em 20 de dezembro de 2005, Damon assinou um contrato de 4 anos/US$ 52 milhões com os arqui-rivais New York Yankees. É hostilizado pelos torcedores dos Red Sox desde então, considerado "traidor"; uma das razões é esta declaração dada por ele em maio daquele ano:

Uma frase referindo-se a Damon ficou popular: "Parece com Jesus. Lança como Maria. Age como Judas".

Em 20 de fevereiro de 2010, Damon assinou contrato de um ano valendo US$ 8 milhões com o Detroit Tigers, sujeito a um exame médico. Depois de dispensado pelos Tigers, ele jogou pelo Tampa Bay e pelo Cleveland Indians.

Johnny Damon: Frases em inglês

“We are not the cowboys anymore — we are just the idiots this year”

Statement about the Boston Red Sox being just "idiots" out to rewrite history. This was before the playoff games in which they overcame a 0-3 game deficit against the New York Yankees, to win a record 8 straight post-season games, ending with a shut-out of the St. Louis Cardinals, and winning their first World Series since 1918; as quoted in "Damon Says Red Sox are 'Idiots' at MSNBC (6 October 2004) http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/6193582/
Contexto: We are not the cowboys anymore — we are just the idiots this year … So we are going to go out and try to swing the bats, find the holes, and, hopefully, good things happen. … We were just a bunch of cowboys out there last year, just enjoying every minute … Now, we know we have something to prove. We don’t want to be remembered as a team that, OK, we keep making it to the playoffs, but we keep having tough losses. … I mean, we want to be known as a team that rewrites the history books. … This is definitely the best ballclub I’ve been on. I mean, that Oakland ballclub in 2001 was pretty awesome. We were a bunch of frat boys there. This team is a little older, but we have that same attitude. We feel like we can win every game, we feel like we like to have fun, and I think that’s why this team is liked by so many people out there. … You know, the kids watching us out there — we’ve got the long hair, we’ve got the cornrows, we got just guys acting like idiots. And I think the fans out there like it.

“There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they are going to come after me hard. … It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need.”
