In the ultimate game of the Championship Series, after hitting two runs in the historic match and eventually winning the World Series, Johnny Damon moved to New York to play amongst the star power of Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.

While his Yankees career concluded with a World Championship, he recently made the news and found the astonishment of his baseball fans after he openly expressed his preferred politician in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.

Johnny Damon surprises his MLB fandom by making a shocking political choice

Playing under captain Derek Jeter and besides shortstop Alex Rodriguez, outfielder Johnny Damon wasn’t an A-Rod fan.

Nevertheless, he recently reached his Twitter account to express his affiliation with Donald Trump.

He tweeted saying, “Trump 2024 [USA Flag Emoji].”

Johnny Damon’s MLB career lasted 17 years. He made his debut with Kansas City Royals in 1995 and played with them till 2000. Following that, he played with Athletics for a year, before moving to Boston in 2002.

Following his four-year tenure with the Red Sox, Damon moved to the Yanks. Ultimately, for the final three years of his career, Damon played with Detroit Tigers, Tampa Bay, and finally, the Cleveland Indians. And retired with two World Championships and two All-Star appearances.

Ex-President Donald Trump isn’t a big fan of Alex Rodriguez either

Donald Trump has never been a big fan of Alex Rodriguez. Back in 2014, shortly before opening day, the ex-US President attacked the Yankees’ shortstop-turned-baseman, Alex Rodriguez.

A-Rod vaguely admitted to his steroid usage in 2009. Subsequently, he faced a season-long suspension from the MLB in 2014. However, Trump never let him off easy. Before opening day, and a season that A-Rod didn’t end up playing, Trump tweeted, “A-Rod is a joke.”

Moreover, this wasn’t the first time Trump attacked A-Rod. All in all, there were multiple instances where the shortstop faced Trump’s slack for his association with banned PEDs.
