Johnny Damon has been able to make a name for himself in the outfields while having short stints with multiple teams. From marquee squads like the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to squads that lacked success in franchise history like the Cleveland Indians, Damon has seen how all squads in the MLB operate. In that time, he also notched quite a few accolades and even got an insane bag.
The Kansas City Royals were the first team to give him a shot in the major leagues. He could not quite hit the ground running in 1995 but slowly progressed to become one of the best sluggers within the next five years of his career. It was then the Oakland Athletics who picked him up but then got passed on to the Boston Red Sox.
Since that 2002 season, Damon would go on to immortalize himself as one of the best players to have ever stepped a foot in the MLB. He got a World Series win in 2004 before moving to the Yankees. With the squad from the Big Apple, he ended up winning another championship. Throughout his stay in the league, he earned a total of $110 million in just salaries alone. His highest contract got him $13 million annually and that lasted from 2005 up to 2009.
When all of his endorsements and deals are computed, Damon amassed a net worth of about $60 million. He may have ended his career in 2012 but the outfielder continued to boogie in Dancing with the Stars in 2014. His greatness has ensured that the rest of his family will be taken care of for decades to come.
