It might be. Damon has been pretty up front about his desire to keep playing for the Yankees past 2009, and he has said that he can’t imagine wearing a different uniform, which isn’t exactly a page right out of the Scott Boras playbook as it relates to an upcoming free agency.

Damon might not be the same productive player if he had to log 81 games worth of at-bats in a different stadium, but in the Bronx, he still seems to be a good fit. There was a thought earlier in the year that the Yankees would be primed to let Damon walk as a free agent, but now it appears the winds have shifted and they are more amenable to the idea of keeping him.

And with each passing milestone, the Yankees outfielder realizes he has achieved some special things. Damon experienced another on Monday, when he slugged his 200th career home run — a three-run ninth-inning shot that helped New York post an 11-4 win over Tampa Bay to open this three-city road trip.
