How much money does one person need? Apparently, a lot, if you're Johnny Damon. Why the fuck would you switch from the Red Sox to the Yankees? Well, money is the obvious reason, but aside from that, it makes no sense at all. First, take into consideration the whole rivalry between the two and the fact that you were a part of history with that team.
Not only that, when you're on a team like the Yankees who are a corporate whore of a team with a complete A-list of players, it's hard for you to stand out. It's the same reason why I would not want to be drafted to an all-star team. Why would you? They're good already, you wouldn't be adding much to them. If you get drafted to a team that's not doing that well or sucks, you have something to work for. I think that should be the main focus of an athlete, wouldn't you think? I would think being on the Yankees and making it to and winning the World Series wouldn't be that great accomplishment. Anyway, the only people who care about them is part of New York.
Speaking of, that whole thing with "Intelligent design" in court. One of the guys that was explaining the judge's ruling as "science has to be something that can be tested" used the Red Sox/Yankees analogy. He's a die-hard Red Sox fan. After they beat the Yankees the last World Series many Yankees fans would say, "God was tired of the Yankees winning, so he gave the Red Sox a chance." This may be true, but there's no way to test that. Fuck those "Intelligent Design" assholes.
You could use that David Cross argument in court: "...the Scientists with their facts. Everyone knows there was a talking snake in the tree."
