People in Boston are fretting over losing education talent to New York City, comparing it to the Red Sox losing Babe Ruth and Johnny Damon. Let's hold off on the Ruth comparisons until they're able to call their own shots, literally. The Damon comparisons are just ridiculous and show these writers are not baseball fans. Since the good-bat-no-arm Damon signed a four-year, $52 million contract with the hated Yanks, the Sox have two fewer regular season wins but a whole lot more money to spend.
Oh, and a World Series title.

True, but if we'd kept Damon, Theo would perhaps not have acquired JD Drew, who is always hurt, for 5 years and $70 million.
