TAMPA, Fla. - Johnny Damon walked into the manager’s office, surprising Joe Torre, then circled the clubhouse, greeting his new teammates with a smile, handshakes and pats on the back.
Damon is the new guy on the Yankees, taking over as center fielder and leadoff hitter. Even though the first workout for position players isn’t until Wednesday, he showed up early at Legends Field, wanting to “get off to a good start and say hi and kind of get things rolling.”
So wearing a baseball cap backward and a tank top that showed off his bulging arms, he introduced himself to players he didn’t know and reacquainted himself with his former competitors.
