The only upside to that story was my son met Buck O'Neil who spent 30 minutes talking to my son and my wife after seeing Damon pull his stunt. He even signed the foul ball baseball my son had gotten off Damon's bat that night.

I'm guessing that opinions are mixed on Damon because I've seen both positive and negative stories of encounters with him.
I'll share mine, although not all that glamorous. My brother and I waited in the players lot after a weeknight game when Damon was only a few years into the league. JD comes out after a little while and starts signing for kids waiting (including us) and after like 3 minutes, his first wife starts yelling at him from the car about how she's tired and wants to go. Damon paused and said something like "I don't care, I'll sign for every kid out here waiting" and she slammed the car door. She came off like an absolute nagging bitch (no wonder they divorced) and he came off pretty cool.
Neat story, I know
