This image of Johnny Damon is ticking off Yankee fans.

 

Still disturbed by the Boston Red Sox's Curse-ending success, Yankee fans now have to put up with seeing a likeness of Beantown sparkplug Johnny Damon on lampposts in Brooklyn.

 

A stenciled image of the long-haired outfielder with a red B on his cap has been popping up across Carroll Gardens, driving Bomber fans bananas.

 

"Breaking the Curse is still no excuse for defacing public property," fumed Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

 

The 10-inch-high, spray-painted stencils of the slugger known as "Caveman" have been spotted on at least eight lampposts along Court and Clinton Sts.

 

The shenanigans have led to a lot of finger-pointing in a neighborhood full of Yankee fans still reeling from the Bombers' defeat by the Sox in the American League Championship Series.

 

"One guy in there is a Red Sox fanatic," said Court St. pizzeria owner Ralph Buoncore, pointing to a deli across the street.

 

But Wilson Gil, 26, wasn't copping to the graffiti from behind the deli's counter. "I would like to know!" he said, proclaiming his innocence.

 

"It's cool," added the sandwich maker, a fan of the Mets and Bosox slugger Manny Ramirez.

 

Regina McFadden, director of the Gowanus Artist Open Studio Tour, offered a critique of the mystery stenciler's handiwork.

 

"I think it's some very creative teenagers," said McFadden. "It's definitely not anyone from Gowanus Artists!"

 

City Department of Transportation spokesman Tom Cocola vowed that Damon's image would be scrubbed away in coming days.

 

"Hopefully, in the next day or two, there will be no Johnny Damon in Brooklyn," Cocola said.

 

 

Someone in NY is my new hero!

This is hilarious! Spread the fever I say. The Yankees' lovers probably HATE the image!

The picture sort of reminds me of Wilson from Castaway
