Johnny Damon as a Yankee

by Dex on Dec 21, 2005 10:51 AM PST in News

I guess it's a big deal that Johnny Damon is a Yankee, and apparently part of it is the fact that he's going to have to shave his beard and get a haircut. I'd been avoiding mentioning it for fear that our readers would accuse us of East Coast bias. However, ESPN was so kind as to give us an image of what he'll look like as a Yankee and I had to comment.

Here's that image:

And if you forgot, here's what he looked like before.

And here's what he would have looked like had he gone to the Brewers:

And of course what he would have looked like with the Pirates:

It's comforting to know that ESPN has this technology at their disposal. Opening day, fans in New York would not have recognized their new centerfielder had not ESPN prepared them for the change.

Apparently we have technology at our disposal as well.

For a second there, if you squint just right, it really looks like Johnny Damon with mutton chops.

Damon was clean cut

with the Royals. He didn't turn into a dirtbag until he went to Boston

Well...

It's pretty obvious he grew out his hair to cover those ears.

Personally

I like the pirate look. What did Johnny Damon look like with the A's? Wasn't he with them for a while?

Damon

I agree with Jim Caple, I don't think the Yankees are a good fit for Damon. That team looks like it has zero fun, Except when you see Jeter and ARod hugging. It's not about the hair because the Red Sox had horrible hair. Manny's was nasty, Varitek's was frosted, and everybody was a bunch of scrubs.

Now the 2005 Padres that was some hair. RIP Big League Pelo.

Red Sox vs. Padres hair

After your last post I'm frantically trying to grow my hair out.

Anyway, I gotta give the hair off to the Pads of last season. It was big it was crazy, it was spectacular and yet some how clean. The Red Sox were grimey, nappy, dirty and homeless person like.

I liked Damon when he had the full beard with the hair. The stubble and the long hair didn't work good.

I liked the variety on the Pads too. Some long and flowing, others high, tight and frosted. That was a good set of heads.
