Johnny Damon had a successful first season in pinstripes, but he says that he could do better.

"Sometimes [the fans] saw the player I was, with the home-run stroke, but my numbers with runners in scoring position were way off," said Damon, who hit a career-high 24 homers but batted .260 in the clutch.

"I chased a lot more pitches than I normally should. I have to show the fans a lot more.

"I went surfing for a few days, went to Homestead (Fla.) for NASCAR and went to the Knicks-Heat game with A-Rod," Damon said about his activities after the Yankees were eliminated.
