Damon named AL Player of the Week

I like to call this award the Small Sample Size Award, but there’s no doubt that Johnny Damon deserves. For the week ending May 10, Damon walked away with Player of the Week honors. He hit .419/.455/1.032 with 5 HR and 15 RBI. Despite the home run barrage, he scored just two other runs the whole week as the Yanks went 2-5. It is the second time in his career that Damon has taken home the award.
