Johnny Damon Boston Quotations

If we're just going out there just to get him work, that's not the Boston Red Sox way, ... We're sending him out there with thoughts of winning that game. He loves pitching here.

I expect him to be on. We need him to be on. There's no way we can get back to Boston down 2-0.

He's been pretty incredible for the last couple of months. We just need to score him some runs. He's been awesome. Not just recently, but he's been around for a very long time. He's what Boston is all about.

It caught me by surprise. I kind of heard stories that him and Boston had agreed on a contract and what not, and I hear today that he declined and he might just take some time off. Theo is a very bright guy. I'll always wish him the best. He was always honest with me and was great for the Red Sox.

My time in Boston was great. But now I'm here playing for the greatest franchise in the world. The team with the most championships.

It's pretty magical. The fact is, you go out there and play hard and the fans always respect that, they cheer you. They welcome the Red Sox into their homes every single night. You just don't do that. Boston fans, from kids to grandparents and housewives, we're a part of their family. That they welcome us like that is pretty awesome.

I'm excited; Boston is where I've had my greatest memories of playing baseball. To me, it's just playing baseball games. I'm looking forward to going there and getting it over with.

I went out as a free agent in Boston and had a great year and I priced myself out of there market, at the time.

I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.

I love Boston and I always will. I'll always have terrific memories and great fans here.
