Alright so Cameo is a website where you can get a personalized video shout out from a celebrity for a fee. I thought it would be funny to have a Yankee give a personalized shout out to the board. Available Yankees on the site were slim or too expensive (Mariano Rivera was there for $500!) but I was able to find Johnny Damon. I sent him the following request to say on video:
"Sorry for the ALCS loss HeAmyHa Yankee forum. Better luck next year! Shoutout to posters Inger, ChiYankee, Rizzuto, Noetsi, GreatFatness, PippsHeadache, Sierchio, AnthonyD, and MichCuseJoe. Tony Womack Forever!" (There was only enough room for nine member shoutouts. I used the 9 highest post counts on the site.)
This is what he replied as he declined the request:
"I’m really lost with this request. To me it’s all over the place, but I’m sure it makes sense to some or even most people. Sorry"
Come on Johnny. You're killing me!  |

Read from the teleprompter Johnny it's not that hard.

For reference here's a video request I made last year of John Salley I used for my friends birthday:
You won't understand the inside jokes but you get the idea. At least John Salley was a good sport about it.

Yet he was willing to allow himself to:
A. Look like Captain Caveman for multiple seasons.
B. Appear on Professional Wrestling
C. “Hit” someone over the head with a chair on Professional Wrestling.
Well, here’s your shout back, whatchername...
You were not even close to one of the Yankees I most enjoyed watching play. I was constantly concerned your spindly little calves would shatter watching you play left field and run the bases...

Come on Johnny. You're killing me! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me...And I think I can be at the very least what you might call “imaginative”. But you? What a nut!!! 🤪 |

The thought is what counts Kaybli... but Johnny Damon doesn't strike me as the smartest person alive.. so I imagine it's pretty easy to confuse him. Too bad you can't respond with a reply as to explain what it meant.. but I'm sure it would probably still be over his head lol. You're the man Kaybli. Never stop being awesome.

That’s hilarious, Kaybli!
The least surprising thing about this is Johnny Damon saying “I’m lost” and that he doesn’t understand something. You could fill a large library with the things Johnny Damon doesn’t understand.
