Another Young, Ready To Rampage
Thank you, Dan Steinberg, for introducing us to "Damage." This is Damon Young, son of "Meat Hook" Nationals first baseman Dmitri Young, and he insist that you call him "Damage." And that, friends, is a mohawk. Clearly, this is not a boy with whom to trifle; boom bitch....
