Well, I heard that Joe Torre went to Florence, Italy to carry the Olympic torch and before his flight, he made two recruiting calls: one to Garciaparra, and one to Johnny Damon. I was in Toronto when the Red Sox were playing, and they stayed in the same hotel. All the other players were very nice about signing autographs for kids in the lobby, except Nomar, who almost ran them over to hop in a taxi and make his get-away. I wouldn't want him to be a Yankee, so I'm glad he's going to L.A. Damon, on the other hand, wouldn't be a bad addition to the team. And if we get Rocket back.... (Gina, did I actually say that out loud??).
