Damon to Start the Season With "The Hair"

Don't worry...it appears that Red Sox centerfielder Johnny Damon will be starting the season with his shaggy head of hair in tact.

"Looks like our favorite leadoff hitter will start the season shaggy. Johnny Damon tells Boston Magazine his contract actually requires him to keep the long locks -- no, not his baseball contract, his book contract. In signing the centerfielder to write a book about the Sox magical 2004 season, Crown Publishing stipulated that he not cut his hair until after the publicity tour is over. (The book, 'Idiot...Or How I Stopped Thinking and Beat the Curse', is due out April 4, 2005). Asked about those goofy comparisons to God and Jesus Christ, Damon replied, "It's incredible...What more can you ask for? Even being mentioned in the same sentence as Jesus or God...I mean, those guys are awesome. I'm just a knucklehead."
