I know his glory days have come and gone, but it would still be fun to watch him play for the Tribe. He has always been a class act.

Source: Damon close to signing with Indians
By Jon Star / MLB.com
Veteran outfielder Johnny Damon is close to finding a home with the Cleveland Indians, according to a source.
The terms of the agreement, which was first reported on Wednesday by MLB Network and FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, have not yet been disclosed.
Damon's eventual destination had been a subject of much speculation throughout the offseason and during Spring Training. The 38-year-old was tied to rumors with the Yankees and others clubs during the winter, but no agreement ever materialized.
Damon will be suiting up for his fourth team in four years after hitting .261 with 16 home runs and 73 RBIs with the Rays in 2011. He returns to the American League Central, having played with the Tigers in 2010.
Damon remains in pursuit of 3,000 hits. He sits at 2,723 with a .286 career average, 231 home runs, 1,120 RBIs and 404 stolen bases.
