Damon’s MLB Career

Damon was picked in the 1st round of the 1992 MLB Draft.
He spent the first six years of his career with the Kansas City Royals (before one season with the Athletics).
The 52-year-old then had his most notable run when he played eight seasons for the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees (four with each).
@baseballisdead_ wrote (on June 7): “18 years ago, Johnny Damon went 6-for-6 with 4 RBI in a 12-11 win over the Royals, that included his walk-off single to complete the comeback. Damon was the only Yankees player to ever go 6-for-6 at Yankee Stadium. Myril Hoag did it at Fenway in 1934.”
