Johnny on Michelle Damon's reaction to his greeting from fans at Fenway: "She was okay. She knew how the fans here react. I told her that's how it's going to be. She heard some of the comments the Red Sox made and she was happy that they were displeased by their fans."

While Some Who Found Their Way Into Fenway Were Crass,
Johnny Damon Showed His Class to the Entourage

�I was a little disappointed in the reaction by the fans. I guess we should feel proud. Evidently wearing a Yankee uniform overrides winning a World Series and busting your tail for years. Without Johnny here, they may have been working on 89 or 90 years [without a championship]. It�s too bad they don�t appreciate that more so than they dislike the fact that he�s wearing our uniform.� -- 5.1.06, Joe Torre, Extra Bases: Wrapping Up a Wild Night

'Disgraceful'

Behavior of the Boo-Bird Brains at Fenway Last Night
McAdam Called It a "Black Mark on the Fans of Boston"
