Johnny

Idiot - Beating -The Curse- and Enjoying the Game of Life

4 stars (Definitely worth it if your a Johnny Damon fan....) - Im a huge red sox fan, so this book was one I was looking forward to. And I was not disappointed by it. It was writen well considering a baseball player wrote it. (although he did have help) I thought that although it was mostly revolving about Johnny Damon's life, it was very good. Johnny Damon is one of my favotire players and anyone else intersted in learning stuff about him that they don't talk about on the radio or TV, I would highly suggest it. 5 stars (Damon is simply the man!!!!!!!!) - As a huge Sox fan this book was aewsome. In it, he reveals the evryday life as a ballplayer and takes you through the good and bad times. He goes through his career from High School to the Boston Red Sox. He especially reviews the 2003 and 2004 Boston Red Sox seasons. The thing that impressed me the most was the fact he was a loyal teammate. This book defends Derek Lowe and Pedro Martinez. He especially defends former teammate, Nomar Garciaparra. He reveals everyting the media said was ludicrous and they ran away from him so he couldn't defend himself and the media could keep doing what they were doing. He also pretty much says the media ran him out of Boston but prior in the book he reveals the Red Sox owners owned alot of that media.They also have a partnership with Nomar's biggest critics, the Boston Globe(Damon doesnt say that in his book, but it is a fact). He simply loves Boston and the fans so it is a must read for Boston fans. 3 stars (Johnny's Right, He Is An Idiot) - Up until I read this book, he was my favorite Red Sox player. Now, not so much. He truly is an idiot and a self centered one at that. No one should speak of the mother of their children in the way he does in this book. His children may read this someday and what will they think. He should be ashamed of himself. ...
